Statement of Commitment

RRC Polytech is committed to developing a culture of diversity and inclusivity for the communities we serve. We believe in equal access to education and employment, and as one of the province’s leading post-secondary institutions, we are committed to fostering an environment that is welcoming, supportive and respectful of the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities.

RRC Polytech is committed to continuing its work to remove barriers to education and employment, and to promote access and participation in all aspects and activities of the College. Building on decades of inclusion and the establishment of best practices, it is the responsibility of each member of the RRC Polytech community — including employees, students, alumni, volunteers and their representative organizations — to play a part in creating an equitable and inclusive environment. To support individuals to satisfy the requirements of their education or employment, we commit to making reasonable accommodations that may be required to allow persons with disabilities to be successful.

We believe in inclusion and we will continue our work to meet, and exceed where possible, the mandate of The Accessibility for Manitobans Act and the mandate of The Human Rights Code.

RRC Polytech’s Accessibility Plan and Accessibility Working Group

To advance this commitment to accessibility, RRC Polytech has created an Accessibility Plan. The Accessibility Plan has been created under the guidance and direction of the Chief Human Resources Officer and is supported by the Human Resource Services Programs and Policies team. The plan is updated every two years by an Accessibility Working Group, representing programs and departments across the College. The Accessibility Work Group leads the implementation of the Accessibility Plan and with input and feedback from the College community, they report on progress; demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the Accessibility Standards; and, identify further initiatives to address accessibility barriers and support access to programs and services. 

If you have any questions or feedback about RRC Polytech’s Accessibility Plan; or, if you would like to request this information in alternate formats, please contact the College by email at diversity@rrc.ca, by phone at 204-632-2319, or by fax at 204-694-0750.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
