Equity means everybody in our community can access, participate in and benefit from services, resources and opportunities that contribute to a high quality of life, no matter an individual’s identity. Put simply, in an equitable society, one’s identities are not accurate predictors of one’s outcomes. Different from equality, equity considers how the unique identities, circumstances, and histories of different people may impact experiences within institutions and systems.
