Indigenous The Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI) is a made-in-Canada solution designed to help employers and human resources practitioners effectively address the full picture of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workplace. Their mission is to help those they work with be inclusive, free of prejudice and discrimination, and to generate awareness, dialogue, and action helping people to recognize diversity as an asset and not an obstacle.
St. Lawrence College is an Employer Partner with the CCDI which provides our employees and student leaders with a number of EDI resources.
SLC employees can register for access to the CCDI portal using their sl.on.ca work email address. Login credentials will be sent via email (check Inbox and Junk Mail folder just in case).
Unlimited access to CCDI's live and interactive webinars.
CCDI has an e-library with over 1,000 documents containing Canadian-specific and
international diversity and inclusion research, reports, toolkits, webinars, and news.
Unlimited attendance to CCDI's Community of Practice events.
'Talking to Canadians' is a podcast that strives to tell the unique and diverse stories of Canadians.
CCDI’s Awards of Success have been designed to recognize individuals who have made
a significant contribution to diversity and inclusion here in Canada – whether internally to
their organization or externally to the community at large.
