Information is presented in summary form in the annual Employment Equity Report and is used to develop initiatives to remove barriers to employment for the designated groups. The applicable legislation prohibits disclosure of information where any category includes three or fewer people.
Where appropriate, employees may identify themselves as belonging to more than one designated group. This is justified by the fact that each designated group faces particular kinds of employment barriers.
A person who belongs to more than one of these groups is likely to experience multiple barriers. It is possible for a person of mixed ancestry, both Aboriginal and visible minority, to self-identify as both a member of a visible minority and an Aboriginal person.
Yes, all UBC faculty and staff are being asked to complete a new survey. This year we are conducting a new census of all employees, including those who have previously completed a survey. Thus, by completing your survey, you help UBC expand job opportunities for all employees and ensure that UBC treats all current and prospective employees fairly. Removing barriers opens up new opportunities for all people in the workforce.
For example, organizations may find new ways to advertise jobs, so they can reach a wider pool of candidates. At any time in the future, you can fill in the online survey or submit a paper survey to the Equity and Inclusion Office and change the information you provide today.

Rather, it means that we recognize that belonging to a visible minority still has social implications, and that the creation of a truly integrated society must start with the efforts to identify and address these consequences in a direct and systematic manner. At UBC, we wanted our concept of visible minorities to reflect the reality of racism and its impact. Aboriginal people are not considered part of this group, because they are identified as a separate designated group for the purposes of equity programs.
