At Fleming College, we strive to foster a culture where respect, representation, and belonging are foundational to our identity. We recognize that true progress requires actively confronting inequities. Our approach centers on inclusive transformation–cultivating an environment that honours all voices, reflects the richness of our diverse community, and supports meaningful change. By championing equitable practices and embracing a wide spectrum of lived experiences, we are committed to cultivating a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered. Through collaboration, continuous learning, and accountability, we aim to create a vibrant and supportive campus culture where difference is welcomed and inclusion is woven into the fabric of everything we do.

Fleming College is deeply committed to creating an equitable, diverse, inclusive college where everyone belongs.
As a college, we acknowledge the patterns of historical exclusion and the legacies it has produced. Our mandate is to challenge societal inequality by addressing systemic discrimination within our institution by examining and redesigning the infrastructure, policies, and practices that have left many behind. Through research, behaviour change, modifications of social standards, systemic disruption, policy change, education and training to achieve a cultural climate of inclusion and belonging.
“Fleming College is committed to being a welcoming place for all, where the needs of our diverse populations are met, and varying perspectives enrich our communities. It is our shared responsibility to understand the experiences of our employees and students in culturally safe and inclusive ways. Together, guided by our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Council, Fleming will continue to follow our strategic direction and meet our commitment to eliminate barriers and build an inclusive sense of belonging”. Maureen Adamson, President
To achieve our mandate and fulfill our commitment, we are redeveloping our vision of the community we need and want for students, employees, faculty and staff.
Over the next few months, we will work with the Fleming community to design a shared vision for the future of Fleming. To be involved or receive updates on the initiatives, please email edicouncil@flemingcollege.ca.
Racism, hate, harassment and/or discrimination are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Fleming is committed to preventing racism, hate, harassment and/or discrimination and creating a safe space for everyone in our College community.
In accordance with the Ontario Government’s Bill 166, Fleming College has updated its Harassment and Discrimination policy to include incidents of racism and hate that occur on campus.
All Fleming Community members deserve to access a campus that is free from racism, hate, harassment and/or discrimination. This policy aims to prevent experiences through education and address incidents through the implementation of the Harassment and Discrimination policy.
Starting in 2026, Fleming will report on the occurrences of racism and hate on campus each year and provide the College Community with updates on the impact of initiatives. The College will review the policy every five years to ensure alignment with promising practices.
If you have experienced or witnessed an event of racism, hate, harassment and/or discrimination on campus or by a member of our community, Fleming encourages you to report it as soon as you feel comfortable.
Reporting options are available to Fleming College students, staff, faculty or guests. We encourage all Fleming community members to provide contact details so the college can best support you and intervene more effectively on reported incidents. For more information on the reporting and investigation process, please refer to the Harassment and Discrimination Procedure.
