Anti-Discrimination Policy: Diversity and Inclusiveness at KSMF
The Kincardine Summer Music Festival stands in solidarity with Indigenous and Black members of our community — and with all people of colour and those in marginalized groups — in denouncing racism and discrimination of any kind.
As an arts organization committed to bringing people together through music, we acknowledge our role in recognizing, upholding and celebrating the human rights and dignity of our community members whose lives are affected and wrongly constrained by racism and discrimination.
KSMF is committed to fostering inclusivity and diversity, taking action to increase our understanding and awareness of what creates an inclusive and diverse arts organization within our mandate. We hold ourselves accountable to our members, funders and our communities to learn, grow and find ways to do our work equitably.
Our mission is to identify potential barriers to full participation in KSMF (as a Board member, contractor, artist, patron, member, sponsor, volunteer or learner), reviewing all practices and policies in a sincere effort to create opportunities for hearing
voices that have not been heard and inviting open communication that promotes inclusion and respect
.
Anti-Harassment Policy
This policy applies to all management, contractors, board members, volunteers, visitors, program participants, students and hosts who are engaged with the Kincardine Summer Music Festival (KSMF), as well as to any member of the public or other visitor to KSMF venues or events presented and/or sponsored by KSMF.
KSMF’s policy is to provide a climate of understanding and respect and to ensure ethical and respectful practices that incorporate equitable treatment for all members of the KSMF community and members of the public or visitors who interact with KSMF.
KSMF will not tolerate, ignore or condone any form of discrimination, harassment or sexual violence and is committed to promoting appropriate standards of conduct at all times. All members of the KSMF community are responsible for respecting the dignity and rights of other members of this community as well as members of the public or other visitors with whom they interact.
This policy prohibits sexual violence, as well as discrimination and harassment based on any ground protected by the human rights laws in Ontario, including but not limited to: race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, family status and disability.
Discrimination, harassment and sexual violence are serious forms of misconduct which may result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge from engagement and/or exclusion from events or programs.
