Re: Membership - Task Force on an Access and Equity Action Plan, Race Relations, Disability and Human Rights
The Report of the Transition Team recognises that Toronto is a City that has high expectations of municipal government regarding access, equity, anti-racism and human rights as well as the involvement of citizens in these municipal programs.
In adopting the framework outlined by the final report, Council has embraced the necessity for the inclusion and integration of the principles of access and equity into all municipal programs and activities.
To assist with meeting this fundamental objective, I am requesting that each standing committee designate a member to serve on this Task Force or to act as a liaison between the Task Force and each Standing Committee.
Please advise me as soon as possible of your interest in serving as a member of the Task Force.
