Our vision
By 2025, our unwavering commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in everything we do makes us an inspiring public service media company and employer. As a catalyst for change, we stand strong in our values, creating space for learning, innovation and courageous conversations. We earn trust through inclusive content that connects genuinely with people and their realities.

At CBC/Radio-Canada, we know that it will take organization-wide commitment to meaningfully achieve equity, diversity and inclusion in our content and our workforce. All of us — content creators, independent producers, union members, and many others — are working together to ensure that our content truly reflects the diversity of our country. From coast to coast to coast, we are committed to making sure that all people living in Canada feel valued, seen and heard by their public broadcaster.
