The Human Rights and Equity Office (HREO) invites you to take part in this year's HREO Learning Challenge between February and December 2026. The HREO Learning Challenge is a set of virtual and self-directed learning opportunities designed to build foundational understandings of Indigenization-Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Anti-Racism, and Accessibility (I-EDIAA). The Learning Challenge aims to deepen learning and make change through self-directed, reflective, and experiential community-based learning.
