Mandate
The Committee will recommend to, advise and assist the Executive Committee of the CBABC in the implementation of strategies and programs which will assist the Bar to recognize, reflect and promote equality and diversity within CBABC, the profession as a whole and the justice system.

The Committee will promote and encourage the inclusion of members of equality seeking groups in the profession; full access for members of equality seeking groups to the services of the profession, and accommodation of differences.

In promoting “equality and diversity”, the CBABC Equality Committee will seek to address all attitudinal, systemic, and structural barriers. The goal of the Committee and of CBABC is substantive equality, not representational equality.
