DEI Strategies Survey

At the Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO), we believe that diversity is part of what builds and enhances our communities’ vitality and vibrancy. Inclusion is the way we perceive and embrace all differences. EDCO is committed to creating an inclusive and safe space for economic developers through professional development and relevant programming for our members and their communities.

Your insights will help us enhance our efforts to create a more inclusive environment. The survey serves three purposes:

- Assessment: Understand your DEI initiatives and identify gaps to enhance our service offerings.
- Engagement: Celebrate your contributions to DEI.
- Future Planning: Create programming to meet your needs.

Your participation is voluntary. Thank you for helping shape a more inclusive future Ontario!
