room for everyone
having access to a secure washroom is a basic right for all people and having all gender washrooms available is an important part of making our campus safe, accessible, and welcoming for all of the lakehead community. these washrooms are safe spaces where anyone, regardless of gender identity or presentation, can use the toilet, wash their hands and check the mirror.
signage will be placed near all gender washrooms indicating that these spaces are inclusive and that lakehead respects everyone's right to choose the washroom that is appropriate for them.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 launching its equity, diversity and inclusion action plan
阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 launched its first equity, diversity, and inclusion (edi) action plan today, resulting from a year-long process of planning, research and consultation led by the president’s edi taskforce.
composed of senior administrators, academics and student leaders, this taskforce ensured that the process for developing the plan would be a coordinated mechanism for driving equity, diversity, and inclusion at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 over five years.
the plan is a living document, meaning that although its vision, mission and goals will not change, the activities will be assessed year by year to ensure that the university achieves its goals.
阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s edi goals include recruiting and retaining a diverse student body and workforce; supporting and accommodating our people through edi services; innovating and leading on edi knowledge creation and education; communicating our edi work and our edi values; and encouraging edi within the university governance system.
the plan’s mission is to institutionalize equitable and inclusive principles and practices to realize a university where diversity thrives. its vision is to create a university that is plural and diverse in its content, structures and people.
“this action plan reflects lakehead’s commitment to a university community where the human rights of all 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty, and staff are respected and realized,” said dylan mazur, lakehead’s director, human rights and equity.
dr. moira mcpherson, lakehead’s president and vice-chancellor, thanked the taskforce members for their work and dedication developing this plan, which they accomplished through essential consultation and contributions from members of the entire university community.
“this action plan represents a commitment to building and fostering a university where we can live, learn, and work in an environment that is equitable and inclusive for all,” dr. mcpherson said.
