At Camosun, we value and celebrate our diversity.
EDI Calendar 2025
The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) calendar lists awareness days, religious observances, and significant dates that are important to our community, with links to learn more about them.
Instructors and event organizers are encouraged to keep these dates in mind as they plan exams and events to avoid conflicts with religious high holidays that may be observed by our community members.
