Council embracing diversity in the municipal workforce
Poll
Yes
Lethbridge city council has voted unanimously to embrace a new mandate for diversification of the workforce for the corporation of the City of Lethbridge.
The motion, brought forward by Coun. Belinda Crowson, directs the city manager to create a municipal workforce that is “broadly reflective of the citizens and communities it serves — and to look at its hiring practices and policies in order to accomplish the goal.
“There is an old document that used to hang in classrooms during the Second World War called the ‘Canadians’ Creed,'” said Crowson in her closing debate during Tuesday’s city council meeting.
