Equity, Diversity & Inclusion community in the BC Public Service
Last updated on February 14, 2024The BC Public Service is committed to reflecting the communities we serve. Community resources support government’s mandate to ensure we’re inclusive of Indigenous peoples, immigrants, racialized groups, persons with disabilities and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
For more information, please visit our homepage – the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Resource Centre – which includes information about the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Strategy, Indigenous Initiatives, Accessibility, Learning and resources and Governance.
Below are some ways B.C. government employees can be part of the conversation on equity, diversity and inclusion.
Employee Resource Groups and Communities of Practice
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Communities of Practice (CoP) are operated by employees of the BC Public Service.
There are several groups related to equity, diversity and inclusion that exist and are available to employees. To review, join and participate in any of these groups, please visit the Communities of Practice and Employee Resource Groups page on Compass (IDIR restricted).
Many ministries within the BC Public Service are developing their own equity, diversity and inclusion networks.
To learn more about a ministry’s specific work, please contact that ministry’s HR branch.
What public service employees are saying
“I’d like to learn what makes you different, and share what makes me different, so that we can build something great together.”
