Infrastructure Ontario

Infrastructure Ontario is a leading public agency demonstrating sustained, measurable, and system-wide leadership in equity, diversity, and inclusion across its workforce, procurement systems, and business operations. In a period where many organizations have reduced EDI commitments, Infrastructure Ontario has embedded inclusion as a core operational standard, backed by a structured EDI Strategy spanning governance, leadership accountability, talent systems, procurement, and community partnerships.

Its FY25 “Count Me In” survey achieved a leading 77% belonging score, with world-class benchmarks in integrating differences (87%) and acceptance (80%). Representation of equity-deserving groups continues to rise in alignment with the communities it serves, including increased representation of racialized employees, women in leadership, Indigenous staff, and 2SLGBTQIA+ employees.

The organization has transformed recruitment and procurement practices to reduce bias and expand access, including inclusive hiring language, diverse interview panels, and structured supplier engagement that supports SMEs and regional vendors. Its Procurement EDI Maturation Survey further ensures accountability in advancing anti-racist and inclusive practices across all vendors.

Through inclusive onboarding, leadership coaching, employee resource groups, and continuous data-driven improvement, Infrastructure Ontario has built a workplace culture where equity is embedded, measured, and actively advanced across every level of the organization.
