Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Policy

Recently, the KBHN Board made significant changes to the management structure and board governance practices. This included development of a strategy to ensure Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) at all levels across the governance and operations of the Network.

KBHN has also adopted Simon Fraser University’s EDI Policy to strengthen its current commitment to maintaining a welcoming workplace for everyone to gather and learn. All who work or study at KBHN feel a sense of belonging, inclusion, fairness, and mutual respect. Current hiring practices of KBHN include acknowledgement of EDI, with the current KBHN staffing complement representing the diversity of nationalities, ethnic backgrounds, ages, and genders.
