Welcome to the
Equality & Equity Project
As part of our commitment to Anti-Racism, Diversity & Inclusion, the Equality & Equity Project will provide historical and present-day information about the contributions, challenges,
culture, and daily lives of the many vital groups that make up our NSCC community,
and the larger world.
We invite you to visit often, reflect on what you see and read, discuss it with others and, hopefully, expand your knowledge base, appreciation, and understanding of groups beyond your own.
Think About This...
Do you know what indigenous land you’re living on? Check out this map and research the groups that occupied that land before you did.
If you have any questions or comments on NSCC's Equality & Equity Project, please contact us at EqualityEquity@northshore.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; But often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
