Stage 1: Early Consultation
We received community input and feedback to help develop a Social Justice Charter for CBCity.
CBCity has drafted a new framework called a Social Justice Charter to make sure everyone in our community feels safe and included. We want to make sure that everyone, no matter where they come from or what they believe, has the same chances to succeed.
This new charter will help us address any problems that might be facing and make sure everyone feels like they belong. We hope this will bring us closer together as a community and make sure that everyone's voice is heard. We need to talk to people in our community to make sure our Social Justice Charter is helpful for everyone. Since we have so many different kinds of people here, it's important to hear everyone's ideas.
By talking to people, we can find out what problems they're facing, like trouble with language or getting help from the government. This will help us make sure the charter is really useful and addresses everyone's needs.
Talking to people also helps them feel like they have a say in what happens in our community. This will make everyone feel more connected and happy, and it will help us create a fairer place for everyone to live.
After extensive community consultation in 2024, our first draft Social Justice Charter is now available for your feedback. You can read the charter and have your say online below or in person by visiting any of our Library and Knowledge Centres and Customer Service Centres.
Summaries of the Social Justice Charter are available in the ‘Document library’ below in English, Arabic, Bengali, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Indonesian, Nepali and Vietnamese.
