In accordance with our strategic priorities, we particularly encourage applications from individuals who self-identify as racialized or Indigenous (First Nation, Metis, or Inuit). The term "racialized" is used here instead of the more outdated and inaccurate terms "racial minority, "visible minority", "person of colour", or "non-White".
