Commitment to Diversity

Limestone District School Board is committed to fair

and equitable hiring practices that will move us

forward in hiring qualified staff who reflect the full

diversity and lived experiences within the

communities we serve. Within the education

sector, historically under-represented groups in the

workforce include people who have traditionally

been marginalized based on sexual orientation,

gender identity, race, religion, disability (both visible

and non-visible), and/or self-identification as First

Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous peoples. We

invite and welcome you, through your cover letter,

to self-identify as someone who has lived

experiences as a member of one or more of these

groups and who can bring valuable, diverse

knowledge and perspective to our District and the

students and communities we serve.
