Why We Are Involved
At the City of Pitt Meadows, we strive to foster a workplace culture where every employee feels welcome, safe, a sense of belonging, receives ample support, and forges meaningful connections within our municipal organization.
To remain progressive and impactful as an organization, it is imperative that we acknowledge our past, assess our current situation, and actively pursue necessary changes to propel us forward in a manner that is inclusive, diverse, and equitable for all.
