British Columbia’s motion picture and creative industries are undertaking transformative action – both independently and collectively – to achieve greater equity, diversity and inclusion. The Creative Equity Roadmap is designed as a central touchpoint to champion and unite the industry’s JEDDI (Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity, Inclusion) work through shared foundations, and a common language and resources.
What you’ll find in the Creative Equity Roadmap:
The Creative Equity Roadmap is developed in partnership between Creative BC and Elevate Inclusion Strategies. The Roadmap was generated as an industry-side support to complement the recruitment-focused Creative Pathways™ website project.
