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.

How to Develop a Cultural Safety Strategy

Creative Equity Roadmap

Develop a cultural safety strategy that is integrated into your organisational vision, and which encourages a culture of accountability, sharing, transparency, openness, a celebration of difference and respect for all. Ensure that you hear from your employees to find out what’s needed to make the workplace feel culturally safe.

How do I do this?

  • Add equity, diversity and inclusion to every meeting agenda at all levels
  • Lead from the top; actions speak louder than words
  • Encourage a workplace culture of sharing of lived experiences
  • Motivate and educate your leadership team in this area
  • Understand and encourage the highlighting of intersectionality in your workplace
