Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Alexander Technique Canada (ATC) is committed to fostering an environment where all teachers, trainees, and students are treated with respect and dignity. ATC complies with the Canadian Human Rights Act, and will not tolerate discrimination or inequity as defined by this Act.

We support a diversified community that includes members of the Employment Equity groups: women, Indigenous persons, visible minorities, and/or persons with disabilities. 

ATC does not discriminate on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age , sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics, and/or disability. 

We are fully committed to the principle of equity and inclusion, and will genuinely work towards fostering anti-oppressive values, attitudes, and practices. We recognize that equity must take into consideration histories, current realities, biases, and discriminatory practices to ensure that outcomes are fair and just.  

ATC commits to intentionally challenge systemic barriers that prevent safe and meaningful inclusion of peoples from historically under-represented communities. It is in our best interest that the teaching of the Alexander Technique is available to all, and we encourage our members to learn, work, and live with people who, because of their background, can bring new and varied perspectives and contributions.
