GEORGE Diversity, Equity & Pos 1ti ~e Space BRO - H R. ht s...... COLLEGE uman 19 s erv1ces The Diversity, Equity and Human Rights Services team is pleased to present our DIVERSITY CALENDAR in this new electronic format. This year the art has been created by local artists who self-identify as members of our diverse community, including but not limited to: indigenous, lgbtq2+, nonbinary, deaf, racialized, persons with disabilities, and allies. Many of the images featured are drawn from recent and past inclusive valentines campaigns. The goal of these images is to reflect our diverse, intersectional and inclusive community at George Brown College. Did we miss something? E-mail us at and let us know any holidays or events we should include in our next Diversity Calendar!
