Embrace Diversity. Be the Change
Clarington is growing—and with that growth comes the opportunity to build a more inclusive and connected community. To make that happen, it’ll take ongoing effort from all of us. Our new campaign, Together, We Are Clarington, highlights the importance of diversity, belonging and taking action against racism.

Why this matters
Clarington is changing — and that’s something to celebrate!
We’re growing rapidly and becoming more diverse every day. With growth comes the responsibility to ensure everyone is safe, respected, and empowered to contribute to our community, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, ability, or any other identity.
Hate and discrimination issues deeply affect many of our friends, neighbours, and colleagues. Let’s stand together and take action to make Clarington a place where everyone belongs.
