How to Apply

AOMBT recognizes that systemic injustices and inequities rooted in colonization and discrimination have disproportionately impacted First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, Black and racialized communities, people with disabilities, and other equity-deserving groups. Guided by its organizational values and ongoing Anti-Racism and Equity work, AOMBT is committed to fostering equity by centring the voices of equity-deserving groups and championing inclusive leadership and decision-making that reflect its dedication to equity and justice.

To achieve these goals, AOMBT is deepening its commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, actively supporting their wellbeing, and working toward equity across gender, race, sexual orientation, ability, socio-economic status, and age. It is dedicated to reflecting on past practices, dismantling systemic barriers, and promoting equitable access and opportunities while cultivating a culture of dignity, respect, and understanding. By embedding equity in its policies, processes, and interactions, and operating with transparency, accountability, and honesty, AOMBT strives to build a more inclusive and equitable future for its members and the broader community.
