Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee

This standing committee:

  • advises and assists the Member Services & Engagement Committee and the Board in the implementation of strategies and programs which will assist the Bar to recognize, reflect and promote equality and diversity within CBABC, the profession as a whole and the justice system;
  • promotes and encourages the inclusion of members of equity-seeking groups in the profession; full access for members of equity-seeking groups to the services of the profession, and accommodation of differences;
  • seeks to address all attitudinal, systemic, and structural barriers. The goal of the subcommittee and of the CBABC is substantive equality, not representational equality.
