Over a year ago, QUEST Canada\u2019s projects team and participating communities identified a lack of tools, resources, and knowledge that pertained to Indigenous engagement as well as equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles necessary for the development and implementation of durable and just CEEPs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In May 2022, the Equitable Engagement project was launched as a first step towards filling this gap and ensuring current and future participating communities are equipped with the tools, resources, and knowledge required to engage <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stakeholders on the pathway to a durable and just net-zero future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to ensure EDI considerations were adequately incorporated into the newly revised resources, QUEST Canada prioritized the benefits of holistic engagement by partnering with the Tamarack Institute, the Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources (CIER), and Dr. Runa Das from Royal Roads University. These partnering organizations and individuals provided expert analysis and review of QUEST Canada\u2019s capacity building and CEEP tools and resources. Beyond these updates, multiple one-pagers have been developed to help participating communities navigate the development and implementation of durable and just CEEPs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; width=&#8221;50%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;50%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Laura Schnurr&#8221; job_title=&#8221;Director, Climate Transitions&#8221; company_name=&#8221;Tamarack Institute&#8221; portrait_url=&#8221;https:\/\/questcanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/thumbnail_IMG_7458.jpeg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cQUEST [Canada] offers excellent resources to Canadian cities and communities to support them in their journeys towards net zero.
