The RRC Polytech community shares a commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and embedding equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) in everything we do. Diversity is one of our greatest strengths, and we strive to create work and learning environments that recognize and celebrate the richness of our community. A workforce and student body that reflects Manitoba’s diversity fosters creativity, innovation, and cultural competency.

While EDIA is year-round commitment on our campuses, April marks Celebrate Diversity Month – a special time to foster understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures and backgrounds. Since 2004, Celebrate Diversity Month has aimed to recognize differences while celebrating the shared essence of humanity.

EDIA Observances and Celebrate Everything

RRC Polytech observes important days, weeks, and months for equity-deserving groups, including women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, racialized individuals, and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, through blog posts, Staff and Student News, and events.

We acknowledge that we may not capture all the observances that the College community celebrates. Staff and students are encouraged to “share what they celebrate” by using the Celebrate Everything form.
