(Issued July 26, 2021 at 12 p.m. EST) – The Town of Cobourg’s Communications Department is pleased to announce the launch of a new project on Engage Cobourg, an online public engagement platform designed to gather feedback and comments from residents.
The new public engagement project, ‘Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy Goals’ is seeking input on the actions that the Town of Cobourg should take towards improving equity, diversity, and inclusion. This feedback will help shape the complete Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) strategy as part of the Town’s commitment towards the Coalition of Inclusive Municipalities.
Through the Engage Cobourg public engagement project and scheduled virtual public Town Halls, community engagement and listening sessions are being conducted to learn about the important topics that should be addressed for the community, which will assist in the creation of the EDI strategy. As part of its development, the Town has proposed four (4) goals to be included in the EDI strategy, including:
These goals will become the building blocks that will be used during a visioning session which Council and the Town of Cobourg’s Senior Leadership Team will be participating in during the month of August to create the draft of the EDI Strategy. The goal will be to present the draft EDI strategy to the public for further comment in September.
