Equity, Diversity and Inclusion on Campus

Diversity Counts on Our Campuses.

October 31, 2022

RRC Polytech recently launched the Diversity Self-Identification Survey, where all employees and students are invited to voluntarily self-declare as part of one or more of the following equity groups:

  • Women
  • Indigenous peoples
  • People with disabilities
  • Racialized persons
  • Persons of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community

Participation in the survey will help give the College an accurate picture of who is on our campuses, supporting future inclusive initiatives.

See why RRC Polytech employees and students are self-identifying, and share your story on social media by using the hashtag #CountMeINcluded.

I’m Anishinaabe and have visible and invisible disabilities. I believe in diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. Being able to share my Indigeneity openly and safely allows for spaces on campus to learn and this creates conversations for more Indigenous people to attend post-secondary. I believe students with disabilities having the space and advocacy on campus allows them to strive for their education. This campaign shares the varied backgrounds of the students at RRC Polytech, and I why wanted to self-identify. Miigwetch.

Being a mother and an international student, I want show that as a woman I am resilient in any adversities of life. While becoming a mother has added a rainbow and much joy to my life, there’s also a lot to balance as a wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend, but this encourages me to work hard and with heart. I always wanted to have an international education to help me find my dream job, and with the courage, faith and support from those around me and my own determination, trials and hardships have not stopped me and should not stop anyone from climbing upward.

Make your voice heard and representation know. Complete the Diversity Self-Identification Survey today.
