Resources for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion for the TRIUMF Community

At TRIUMF, we believe that the collective wisdom of people with different perspectives and experiences extends beyond the sum of their individual knowledge. We endeavor to welcome and to motivate all our members to fulfill their potential. In embracing different voices, we enrich and strengthen ourselves as persons and as an institution. Our Laboratory is on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Musqueam people. As a publicly funded Canadian institution and a world leader in science, we have a social imperative to build a more equitable system and to foster a culture of inclusive diversity. 

Diversity spans a wide range of dimensions, both visible and invisible. These dimensions may include gender, gender identy or expression, age, ethnicity, beliefs, and the presence of a disability. Inclusion is to cultivate a work environment which promotes full and free participation of all individuals to achieve their highest selves. Through fair and respectful treatment, equity delivers equal access to opportunities while recognizing that we do not all start from the same place.

At TRIUMF, we continually strive for equity, inclusion, and diversity in all aspects of our work. In this way, we will lead in science, discovery, and innovation to improve lives and build a better world. We encourage all members of our community to become active participants in this work by listening, learning, and reflecting on what a culture of inclusive diversity at TRIUMF could look like.  

This collection of resources is a starting point for ongoing education and conversation about equity, diversity, and inclusion here at the lab. As a living document, it will be subject to revision and update over time. We welome suggestions via edicommittee@triumf.ca
