Everyone is welcome
As an organization who welcomes and strives to serve all people, we believe that inclusive language is a way of acknowledging and respecting the diversity of bodies, genders and relationships. People experience and express their gender and sexuality in different ways. People have different biological sex characteristics.
Inclusive language ensures we don’t leave people out of our conversations or our work. Inclusive language acknowledges the diversity of people we work with and serve. Throughout this website we have intentionally chosen to use a variety of language to describe bodies, identities and relationships with the intention of representing diversity. We also wish to recognize that language is powerful and highly personal, sensitive, dynamic and, as such, will change. We strive to be as current and inclusive as possible and welcome feedback on ways to improve our language use. We have taken our current language direction from BCCDC and TransCare BC.
