The position of Human Rights Advisor to the President was created in 1991 as a result of work done by the College and the community on the development of the Race and Ethnic Relations Policy. The primary focus of the position is to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for students, staff and visitors. In addition, the Advisor is also responsible for matters related to employment equity and information access and privacy issues.
