*Employment Equity:
The Le Frigo Vert hiring committee recognizes the structural injustices and prejudices that impact our experiences, living in a neo-colonial, capitalist state founded on the discrimination of people based on their race, class, ability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and body type (NOTE: this is not a comprehensive list, but is meant to provide examples). As an attempt to address systemic inequality while at the same time prioritizing the projects of the Frigo Vert, employment equity will be used to differentiate between candidates who meet the required qualifications.
