The Creative Equity Roadmap is developed in partnership between Creative BC and Elevate Inclusion Strategies. This resource was developed as an industry-focused support to increase cultural competence and inclusive practices within the motion picture industry's businesses and systems. It complements the Creative Pathways project, which is focused to serve British Columbians seeking access to careers in the motion picture industry.

The Creative Equity Roadmap is intended to serve Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDDI) work across the motion picture industry in B.C. It is:

    • a starting point, an invitation for collaboration and a contribution to the many important public materials being generated;

    • focused on supporting industry - the creative businesses, organizations and companies, recognizing that employers, labour organizations and industry associations have a particularly important role to play in changing systems;

    • intended as a practical approach, offering a high level framework for understanding the steps required as an organization for advancing the principles of Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity and Inclusion;

    • offers a shared language and method centering on Commitments and People Practices by which B.C.'s motion picture industry may collectively consider and advance the principles of Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity and Inclusion;

    • seeks to amplify the growing network of resources available in B.C. and Canada to support our collective work in this evolving field.

Ford Foundation: Disability Inclusion Toolkit

Creative Equity Roadmap

The Ford Foundation has created a disability inclusion toolkit. People with disabilities are a diverse group of individuals with varying needs. There is no one-size fits all accessibility approach, which is why this toolkit emphasizes the need to create pathways for people to share their access needs and solicit feedback to identify areas of improvement.

With this understanding in mind, the Ford Foundation shares that this toolkit is 508 compliant, meaning that it is screen reader compatible for individuals who are low vision, blind, and/or require a screen reader due to physical, intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. The Ford Foundation recognizes that it may not meet the needs of some people with disabilities, for example those who require plain language materials. As they seek to model disability inclusion in their grantmaking and internal practices, they want to fully disclose the limitations of this toolkit.
