Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity is a mosaic of people who bring a variety of backgrounds, styles, perspectives, cognitive abilities, beliefs, and cultures as assets to the organizations with which they interact. The mosaic includes differences in race, national or ethnic origins, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic status, age, language, mental ability, and physical ability. These differences are acknowledged, celebrated and respected by the AFP Greater Vancouver Chapter and its members, for inclusion and equity within the association.
