"At BC Transit, we put people first. We know that focusing on people means fostering a culture where employees are empowered to contribute their best, and flourish in their uniqueness and diversity.
To support this vision, in 2021, we established the IDEA Forum, a diverse and cross-functional group of employees that comes together monthly to discuss and action matters related to inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility at BC Transit and develop an engaging IDEA culture that builds trust, community and participation."
