Diversity X Change - I Am Ajax

Diversity x Change began in 2020 as a response to the need for meaningful engagement with Equity, Diversity and Inclusion during the height of the global pandemic.

Since its inception, it has evolved into an annual program that not only celebrates diversity but also boldly addresses injustice and the systemic barriers faced by underrepresented communities. Through creative programming, educational resources, and community storytelling, the initiative fosters public learning around anti-racism, anti-oppression, and equity-building practices. Its core mission is to deepen understanding and civic resiliency among Ajax residents and neighbouring communities.

By centering lived experiences and promoting inclusive dialogue, Diversity x Change creates space for reflection, accountability, and growth. The program prioritizes accessibility, representation, and the amplification of voices that are often unheard. At its heart, Diversity x Change is about building a more equitable future—one where every resident feels seen, valued, and empowered to shape the community they live in.
