Acknowledgements

This guide was developed on the traditional and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples who have been stewards of this land since time immemorial.  Its creation stems, in part, out of a desire to welcome more First Nations, Metis, and Inuit faculty members to Vancouver Community College. I hope this guide will spark meaningful conversations that inspire actions rooted in respect, accountability, and the co-creation of just futures.

I would also like to thank all the people who contributed their research, ideas, experiences, and critiques of this project. Special thanks go to Tanny Marks, Arbiter of Student Issues, whose advocacy for employment equity was the catalyst for this guide. Tanny’s support, from initial research to final product, was invaluable. I also extend my gratitude to Rachel Warick from VCC’s Partnership Development Office. Her extensive knowledge of best practices in inclusive employment and her thoughtful, thorough feedback greatly enriched this guide.
