TPS EQUITY STRATEGY Flashcards
OUR VISION
To create a safe, equitable and fair working environment for our Service members so they can thrive
and serve our communities (inward looking), and;
To deliver respectful, fair and trusted public safety services with and for our diverse communities and
partners to keep Toronto the best and safest place to be (outward looking).
Our Vision is both inward looking – for our members, our leaders, and our organization – and outward looking – for
our communities and our partners.
Our Vision - Inward
“Inward” means that the changes we need to make must start from within. The way we treat and lead our
members, the way we treat each other, address biases and stereotypes, and the structures we create to do our work
influence how we engage with our communities and partners, how they perceive us and have confidence in us, and
how we respond to the needs of the communities we serve.
Our Vision - Outward
“Outward” represents the changes we need to make in how we interact with our communities and our partners and
how we respond to their needs. We will continue to strengthen our understanding of the unique experiences of
different communities and the organizations serving them; to acknowledge our past mistakes; to build on any past
successes; and to listen to the voices historically silenced. As with all publicly funded institutions, we must deal with
the consequences of inequities across all sectors, and our contribution to them. Only by working with other public
service organizations, can we drive change across the entire system
