*The term “Aboriginal” is used within this job advertisement as it relates to the Employment Equity Act and other legislative frameworks. The term “Indigenous” is used where possible, in alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

While many programs and initiatives have already been implemented in line with our commitments to diversity and inclusion, we aim to improve! We invite you to be part of the change by joining an organization where individual differences are recognized, valued and respected.

Achieving a representative and diverse workforce has been identified as an organizational need for OSFI and may be applied at any time during this appointment process.
