Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

In March 2023, Council approved Richmond Hill’s first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Strategy and Action Plan, allowing the City to implement a DEI lens on its work while being more inclusive in its delivery of services, policy and community outreach. The vision of Richmond Hill’s DEI Strategy is:

“Richmond Hill is committed to building an inclusive municipal service environment and community that embraces diversity, promotes equity and is accountable to the people it serves.”

The list of short, medium and long-term recommendations in the Action Plan were developed in consultation with staff, Members of Council and the broader Richmond Hill community. Public consultation included a survey, an online workshop and an in-person workshop.

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts on City Services, by completing our survey or participating in a workshop.
