London’s Diversity and Race Relations
Advisory Committee (LDRRAC) is dedicated to making London an
inclusive, safe, and equitable community for the benefit of
all community members. As a committee of individuals appointed
by City Council, to provide leadership on matters related to
diversity, inclusivity, equity and the elimination of discrimination
in the City of London, we are responsible for:
- providing consultation, advice, report findings and
making recommendations to City Council.
- facilitating a stronger understanding of the needs of
London’s diverse populations by working actively with police
services, educational and municipal organizations, social
services, community groups as well as business, labour and
government agencies.
- advising the City of London in the development, maintenance
and refinement of policies and practices that facilitate
an inclusive and supportive work environment.
- initiating and participating in the development of new
policies and programs or the refinement of existing ones,
on matters of discrimination, diversity, inclusivity and
equity in London.
- acting as source of information on community resources
regarding issues of discrimination.

winner of each category is recognized for initiatives that have
heightened awareness for positive race relations and encouraged
ongoing citywide activities that promote/advance London as a
welcoming city and inclusive community.The deadline for
2012 Race Relations Award nominations is January 27,
2012.
