Progress and Timeline

We're currently gathering updates from units across Western to highlight progress on equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, and accessibility (EDIDA). We're looking for information on initiatives, actions, data and impacts already taking place in units at Western. Submissions will help inform the upcoming university‑wide EDIDA Strategic Plan Progress Report, scheduled for release in June 2026.

Together, we can demonstrate how our collective efforts are driving positive change across Western.

We're looking forward to sharing progress updates with you soon.
