Diversity, accessibility, and inclusion

At the Canadian Coast Guard, people are our strength and main priority. We aim to:

• recruit a diverse, skilled workforce
• represent the communities we serve

We are committed to fostering an inclusive work environment where all employees:

• have equitable opportunities
• feel accepted and valued

The Canadian Coast Guard is taking steps towards a more inclusive and accessible workplace. Some of these steps include:

• removing “male” and “female” labels from uniform descriptions
• adding the hijab and turban as uniform options
• creating an accessibility network for employees
• implementing the Government of Canada Workplace Accessibility Passport
