We would like to welcome Nadia Kanani as our new Equity Officer! Following the retirement of Sheila Wilmot in February 2020, the position has remained vacant. Nadia will join our team on November 9th. Thank you to the Hiring Committee for their work navigating hiring in the midst of a pandemic.
Nadia comes to the position with a wealth of experience in both community and post-secondary organizing and advocacy, specifically through an anti-racist and disability justice framework. Most notably, she held advocacy and student support roles at Students for Barrier-free Access and played a substantive role in the campaign against UofT’s mandated leave policy. Nadia brings experience in mounting harassment complaints, representing members in human rights cases, and facilitating mediation to the role of Equity Officer. She also has a strong background in leading trainings and educationals.
Save the date! We will be hosting a membership meet and greet for members to meet Nadia on Tuesday November 17th at 1pm. You can find the Zoom info here: Equity Officer Meet and Greet.
