Laidlaw Foundation

"Along with civic engagement, diversity and youth engagement, social inclusion is one of the core values of the Laidlaw Foundation. The Laidlaw Foundation promotes inclusion by challenging specific forms of exclusion. We believe that an inclusive process is essential to inclusive outcomes. We do this through:
• challenging specific forms of exclusion based on gender, racialization, ethnicity, ableism, ageism and other factors;• supporting the participation of excluded groups to identify obstacles to inclusion and to remove barriers and reduce disparities;• focusing on the concerns, voices and leadership of young people; and• working for policy changes that promote youth inclusion."
