Equity, diversity and inclusion Resources
The CSPA is dedicated to enabling the arts and culture sector as a key driver of sustainable communities. As we continue on this path, we understand the importance of questioning what we know, relearning, and putting new ideas into practice.
Along the way, we've developed Equity, Diversity and Inclusion toolkits and resources while also learning from those created by other organizations.
Below you will find some of these resources. Our hope is that these materials inspire, challenge, and empower your work in new ways.

EDI Accessibility Guide
Are you developing a program, hosting an event, or offering services? We've created this guide to support our community in creating spaces where everyone can fully participate and thrive. This guide provides practical tools and strategies to ensure that individuals from all backgrounds, abilities, and experiences can easily access our content.
Neurodiversity & Sensorial Accessibility Toolkit
This resource was developed for the CSPA so as to promote an inclusive and accessible environment for neurodivergent individuals. It offers general information and practical strategies to foster spaces where different ways of thinking, learning, and creating can flourish.
2LGBTQI+ Guidelines & Best Practices
This is an inexhaustive toolkit that has been tailored for CSPA to foster an inclusive and equitable workplace culture for Two-Spirit (2S) and LGBTQIA+ individuals. It provides information to build awareness, challenge biases, and promote affirming practices—beneficial for both individuals and organizations.
