Toronto, Mar 30 (IBNS): Mediacorp Canada Inc. announced that City of Toronto has been named one of Canada's best diversity employers for the second consecutive year for its workplace diversity and inclusion programs among the 100 winners of 2017 best diversity employers in a Globe and Mail magazine.

City of Toronto tweeted, “#CityofTO has been named one of Canada's best diversity employers. News release: http://bit.ly/2mMX4LD .”

Mediacorp Canada Inc. is Canada's largest specialty publisher of quality employment periodicals and manages the Canada's Top 100 Employers project and the Eluta.ca job search engine, now used by more than 5.4 million Canadians annually.

The criteria for the inclusion in the competition is the creation of inclusive workplaces and programs for employees from five groups: women, members of visible minorities, persons with disabilities, aboriginal people and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people.

"As a leading organization that offers many diverse programs and initiatives, the City of Toronto is very deserving of this award," said Mayor John Tory. "Diversity is our strength, and I commend the members of the Toronto Public Service, whose work helps make Toronto an inclusive and welcoming city that is a model for the rest of the world,” www1.toronto.ca reports said.

Tory tweeted, “Extremely proud that the City of Toronto has been named one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers. Info: http://ow.ly/qiSG30al5We .”

"The City of Toronto leads the way in championing diversity, access, inclusivity and producing equitable outcomes for City employees and the people we serve," said City Manager Peter Wallace. "As one of Canada's top employers, we must continue to create an environment that reflects our diverse communities and where everyone is treated equally and equitably," www1.toronto.ca reports said.

Determination of this year's winners was based on editors’ review of the criteria of diversity and inclusiveness initiatives from employers who applied for the Canada's Top 100 Employers project. A short list of employers was compiled and the candidates' programs were compared to programs of other employers in the same field. The finalists chosen represented the diversity leaders in their industry and their region of Canada.
