SCHOLARSHIP APPLICANT SELF IDENTIFICATION QUESTIONNAIRE

Pattison Media is committed to our social responsibility of equal opportunity employment and does not discriminate against any employee or applicant. We encourage members of all designated groups to identify themselves using this self identification form, as doing so will help us correct under-representation of those individuals in our company.

The Employment Equity Act applies to all Federally Regulated companies, employing more than 100 people. Pattison Media Ltd. recognizes that the diversity of its employees' population contributes to its strength and integrity.

The information you provide will primarily be used to compile statistical reports, however in support of achieving a diversified workforce and our employment equity goals, selection may be limited to candidates self-identifying as belonging to one of the recognized Employment Equity groups: Indigenous Peoples, Persons with a Disability, Visible Minorities and Women.

This response is voluntary; however to assist us in providing accurate reporting, we encourage all applicants to complete this CONFIDENTIAL questionnaire.

Please check the appropriate box for the following questions:
