Welcome to Pathways

This is your invitation to join a community of peers who support and learn from each other as we collectively co-create a more equitable, thoughtful sector.

Pathways is a free online program that supports BC-based arts, culture, and heritage organizations and collectives as they continue to embed equity and access into their work. This process looks different for each organization. It is an ongoing learning journey.

Participants will find a supportive community, individualized and relevant materials, and the time and resources to grow and deepen equity practices. Pathways also provides a means of accountability as you do this work. 

What started as a year-long pilot program has developed into a network of over 125 organizations, of varying sizes and disciplines, from across the province that continue to grow, support, and learn from each other.

Who is Pathways for?

Pathways serves a range of organizations at varying stages of their learning and implementation of equity and access practices. Pathways is flexible and tailored to the organization’s context, discipline, and geographic/community reality. Each organization experiences the program in a way that is unique to them.

For organizations just beginning this work:

This program is not about evaluation or assessment; it is about support. Pathways supports organizations in understanding how to approach their existing work through an equity lens. That might mean identifying where to start or assisting with taking the next steps or providing a framework of accountability.

For organizations further along:

Pathways supports organizations in deepening and strengthening the equity and access work they’re already doing. It offers space to reflect, adapt, be accountable and grow practices in ways that are sustainable, responsive, and build resilience. This work helps future-proof organizations.
