Committed to promoting an inclusive environment based on the celebration of diversity, the Board has put forward two initiatives.
In an effort to ensure employment equity, the Conseil scolaire du Grand Nord is launching its “Guide à l’intention des employés nouveaux arrivants au Conseil scolaire du Grand Nord”. The guide focuses on successful strategies for teaching and classroom management. The guide is one of the Board’s initiatives to ensure the successful integration of its new employees and to combat systemic racism within the Conseil scolaire du Grand Nord family.

École secondaire Macdonald-Cartier has created a video to unite all ethnic and racial communities. In order to ensure a school environment that is conducive to the development of all, the video highlights the fact that all students share the same interests and aspirations and that each one seeks to be happy and to make others happy. In solidarity and unity, the participating visible minority students share their personal reflections in order to raise awareness of some of the barriers they face.
