Employment Equity Policy (2007)

Employment equity is a commitment to equal treatment and fairness in the workplace. It strives to ensure that no one is denied an opportunity for employment or advancement for reasons unrelated to their abilities.

The New Vic Project will be a catalyst for rethinking and reimagining the university model for the 21st century 鈥� dissolving boundaries between disciplines, communities and institutions, as 91社区 focuses on shared goals benefiting all of humanity. Building from the Royal Vic鈥檚 original vocation as a place of healing, anchored in our shared values of service to the community, the New Vic will help pave the way towards a better future for Montrealers, Quebecers, Canadians and the entire world. The New Vic will centre on two academic pillars: sustainable solutions and public policy.
