Employment Equity Act
The University of Lethbridge is bound to the
terms of the Employment Equity Act. The purpose of the Act is to achieve
equality in the workplace so that no person shall be denied employment
opportunities or benefits for reasons unrelated to ability and, in the
fulfillment of that goal, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in
employment experienced by women, aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities
and members of visible minorities by giving effect to the principle that
employment equity means more than treating persons in the same way but
also requires special measures and the accommodation of differences. More
information on the Employment Equity Act can be found at: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/E-5.401/index.html
and Employment Equity Regulations can be found here: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-96-470/index.html
