The work is grounded in the City’s Reconciliation Framework, UNDRIP Strategy, Equity Framework, Accessibility Strategy, Healthy City Strategy, Culture Plan and other key City directions, policies, and projects.

Key contacts include residents, cultural, community, and heritage organizations, business owners, property owners, partners in the non-profit and academic sectors, with a focus on equity-denied communities.

**Specific Duties and Responsibilities**
- Leads work related to the City’s cultural redress efforts to repair the harms of systemic exclusion and discrimination experienced by racialized communities through policy, projects, and processes.
