Your resume may contain additional information such as your experience, education, skills or any other information about yourself that you decide to provide.

At times, we may ask you to provide us with general information about you to assist us in meeting your various needs or to better understand your requirements, profiles, and experience.  Additionally, the City of Toronto is committed to fostering an inclusive, accessible environment where all employees and members of the public feel valued, respected and supported.
