Employment Equity - Emergency Services

This is an article in Toronto Fire Watch - Spring 2009, explaining the EE Policy :
"I also explained that women and visible minorities, once qualified, are placed in their own group and that each class hired would require 50% from that group and 50% from the white male group."
More on page 9, if interested.

It has been common for years to be approached on and off the job by citizens in Toronto who are concerned with the topic.

Some interest in Employment Equity lately.

If applying for the Emergency Services, this may be of interest,
