The Ontario Public Service (OPS) is committed to an accessible, equitable and diverse workplace that is representative of the people we serve. Diversifying the OPS is a top priority and is demonstrated with the goal of reaching parity between our leadership teams and the Ontario labour force by 2025. Part of achieving this goal is ensuring our recruitment efforts are attracting diverse applicants and strengthening our talent pool.

To help advance the goals of the OPS’s accessibility commitments and Anti-Racism Policy, we will be inviting all applicants to complete a voluntary survey after the application period closes. This data will be used to take concrete, measurable actions that will reduce systemic barriers and eliminate discrimination.
