Commitment to Equity

As we continue to be responsive to the changing needs of our communities, we acknowledge the historical and present day violence, and systemic barriers that harm members of Waterloo Region. We must ask ourselves not if we are complicit, but how.

Building equity takes time, intentional commitment, and behavioural change. It is an ongoing process, and we start by recognizing the racism, systemic oppression, and discrimination faced by Indigenous people, Black people, Asian communities, racialized people, ethnic or linguistic groups, members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, unhoused people, people with mental illness, and people with physical, intellectual and non-apparent disabilities.

Our work is strengthened in collaboration with others. We have a lot of work to do and will continue to listen, learn, and take action to ensure that everyone at Camino experiences true equity, connection, and belonging.
