Shola Alabi is the Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.

As part of our commitment to improving Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, & Belonging within our own organization and community, in 2020, SCHC leadership and Board participated in extensive education on anti-black racism and truth and reconciliation.  The procurement of a consulting firm followed this experience in DIE&B to inform our strategy. It included facilitated discussions with black-identifying staff about their experiences as foundational work in our journey to making improvements to SCHC’s DIE&B culture and mandatory education of all staff on Anti Black Racism to educate staff on the experiences of Black People in North America, especially in Canada.  Also, a Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was created and promoted from within SCHC to oversee the execution of the strategy and sustainment of the culture SCHC committed to.  In addition, a survey of the black community in Scarborough has been conducted to better identify needs and gaps to better inform programming and services for Scarborough’s black population. Other work includes the development of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) to track and improve our socio-demographic data collection and a Board developed and approved a comprehensive land acknowledgment with further development in Reconciliation planned. SCHC acknowledges that this is a journey and will continue to embed DIE&B into strategy, decisions, and community engagement.
