Diversity
The Halifax Regional Municipality values diversity and inclusion in all that we do, think, and pursue. Diversity is more than race, ability, sexual orientation, language, gender or any other descriptive category. Diversity is a combination of differences and similarities among people.

Diversity is understanding and utilizing different views, ideas, life experiences, skills and knowledge. At the Halifax Regional Municipality, we recognize diversity and inclusion as core values.

Regional Council recognizes that the municipality is best served by boards, committees and commissions whose membership reflects the diverse communities they serve.  You are encouraged to complete this voluntary and confidential diversity questionnaire.
