Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

CanNRT is dedicated to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion across its endeavors. This involves establishing leadership groups that reflect a diverse range of qualifications, skills, experiences, perspectives, and identities. The process will prioritize the inclusion of trainees and individuals with lived and living experience (for example, autistic individuals, caregivers, etc.), and all committees must integrate EDI considerations into their structures and operations.
