Social Justice and Equity 

Part of ETFO’s mission is the education, stimulation, and transformation of provincial and local organizations to be responsive to the diverse needs of the membership, and to be a positive influence for change at a societal level.  ETFO strives to reflect diversity in all aspects of its operations.  The equity work of the organization flows from one of the founding objects of the Federation and the definition of equity adopted by the Executive:

  • One of the objects of ETFO is “to foster a climate of social justice in Ontario and continue a leadership role in such areas as anti-poverty, non-violence, and equity”.  
  • ETFO recognizes that we live in a society characterized by individual and systemic discrimination against particular groups.  Within this context, ETFO defines equity as fairness achieved through proactive measures that result in equality for all.
