Culture

We are a community of people who believe that a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion off the court is as important as our play.
We believe differences in ability, age, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status should not differentiate how people are treated: with kindness, with compassion, and with respect. We believe that listening is as important as speaking. We will not hesitate to take action, and we will do so intentionally, focused on change.
WE ARE
EMPOWERED.
WE ARE
DETERMINED
TO LEARN, TO
LEAD, AND TO
LOVE. WE ARE
ALL HUMAN.
WE ARE THE
tORONTO
RAPTORS.
Mission Statement
