Nous, la commission scolaire de Western Quebec, reconnaissons que les terres sur lesquelles nous vivons, apprenons et travaillons sont le territoire traditionnel non cédé des peuples algonquins Anishinaabe. Nous les remercions de partager ces terres et nous nous engageons, en tant qu'organisation, en tant qu'éducateurs et en tant qu'individus, à entretenir une relation continue qui reconnaît et respecte les terres, les traditions et la culture du peuple Anishinaabe.

La Commission scolaire Western Québec s'engage à bâtir une communauté éducative ayant pour objectif commun de réaliser le potentiel de tous nos élèves en cultivant un solide corps de soutien et l'excellence professionnelle, pédagogique et administrative. Nous encourageons donc les candidatures des Autochtones, ainsi que celles des autres groupes racialisés, des personnes vivant avec un handicap, des personnes de confession religieuse et des minorités de genre.

En tant qu'organisation, nous nous efforçons d'embaucher des personnes qui reflètent les communautés que nous servons, et qui pratiquent l'amour de l'apprentissage tout au long de la vie, le travail d'équipe et l'éthique professionnelle la plus élevée. Nos efforts pour obtenir une main-d'œuvre diversifiée qui contribue à un environnement de travail culturellement sûr comprennent la mise en place de pratiques d'emploi proactives afin d'aborder les barrières systémiques et d'éliminer les obstacles à l'embauche et à la rétention de personnes qualifiées.
