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.
