<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Background Information</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS) was an early adopter of an equity framework for decision making. With the support of the Bureau’s first Equity Manager, a suite of tools and resources were developed to support staff in understanding
the language and theory of racial equity work; and to support project managers, coordinators and team leaders in thoughtfully applying a racial equity lens to their projects and programs. After five years of use, the Bureau engaged in a year-long collaborative
process to update and refine the existing tools based on user experience and the changing landscape. The newly redesigned BPS Equity Toolkit provides for ease of use during virtual or in-person work sessions. <o:p></o:p></p>
