DIVERSITY STATEMENT

We encourage participation from the Government of Canada’s job equity groups, including women, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit persons, members of visible minority groups, persons with disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity and expression to apply. Research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups often apply to jobs only if they meet all of the qualifications. We recognize that it is highly unlikely that someone meets 100% of the qualifications for a role. If much of the job qualifications describe you, then please apply.
