The Vancouver Ballet Society aims to be an artistic service organization that is relevant, accessible, and welcoming to everyone. We acknowledge the historic inequities of our artform and as such we are committed to cultivating and embracing a more diverse, equitable and inclusive organization, while preserving the integrity of the art form and maintaining the highest artistic standards.
To this end, the VBS recognizes and is open to representing individual or group differences encompassing age, ability or disability, marriage or partnership, parental status, race, religion or belief, ethnicity, gender identification, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and other areas of identity.
The VBS ensures fairness and professionalism in all its dealings and will not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or victimization. We intentionally foster an environment wherein the individual or group can feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued to fully participate.
