Outcomes
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
- Apply practical tools and strategies to lead and embed EDIB initiatives within their LTC home, building on the foundational knowledge from Creating a Culture of Belonging.
- Anticipate social and structural barriers to sustaining EDIB work, and adjust their approach based on ongoing reflection on their progress.
- Identify and adapt tools and resources from within and external to Ontario CLRI to extend their EDIB work between sessions and beyond the program
Delivery Format and Duration
This program involves seven two-hour virtual coaching sessions. Each session consists of:
- 90 minutes live on Zoom with a facilitator with EDIB expertise on session days
- 30 minutes of independent pre- or post-session learning/reflection time.
The schedule for 2026-27 sessions is coming soon!

What Participants Are Saying
“[EDIB Champion Coaching program] has given me a lot more confidence . . . . to make discussions, to make conversations, to stand up for people . . . . to be able to make a change. And I feel like with our [LTC] home, it’s an uphill [journey]. I feel empowered in the fact that I now have the knowledge and the support to help start this change.”
“Honestly speaking, [the facilitation] was the greatest thing, and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss out on that. Because you have that sharing of experiences. And it was a safe space to share and hear other people’s experiences – even hearing somebody facilitating and giving you another angle of the importance of equity, diversity, and belonging.”
