The Government of Manitoba is committed to Employment Equity in order to create a civil service that is representative at all levels of four designated groups: women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous persons and visible minorities. Applicants are encouraged to indicate if they are from one or more of these groups so that government can gather data to monitor the effectiveness of its Employment Equity Program.
