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.

Safe Spaces Playbook – A guide on creating safe spaces for staff and clients in the spirit of equity to the community

Creative Equity Roadmap

Kickstart’s Safe Spaces Playbook is a guide on how to support and mandate safe spaces, which is shared internally, with their clients and in the spirit of equity to the community.  They encourage everyone to read it and use it how they see fit to help promote some first steps that can be taken to create safe spaces

The main purpose of the Safe Spaces Playbook is to create and keep our spaces safe for our teamies to thrive and bring their whole authentic selves to work.  The intent is to create a space for all Teamies to learn, make mistakes and continue to evolve and build an inclusive community together.  Kickstart want to help everyone relearn and create an environment where mistakes are okay as long as we learn from them and move forward.  The idea is to start with pronouns and inclusive language and then build out other aspects of safe spaces.  As this is an ongoing process we will continue to build out additional resources, training, and education for safe spaces.
