“Recommendations for a More Inclusive Canadian Astronomy Community”

The Canadian astronomical community is currently undergoing its "Long Range Planning" process, similar to the Decadal Survey in the US. As such, the Equity and Inclusivity Committee (EIC) has recently shared a white paper with a set of recommendations for improving the representation of minoritized peoples and the working conditions in the professional astronomy community: http://myumi.ch/Bo38l. I'll briefly describe these recommendations and then open an informal discussion of their merit (and what we have inevitably missed!).
