An equality-based approach would simply mean cutting the opening hours at each center by the same amount. An equity-based approach would involve researching how many hours each center is used for, and reducing hours in locations where community use is less frequent.<\/p><h3>Equity in the Community<\/h3><p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re a private-sector company distributing marketing materials about a new product or service, or a public-sector organization publicizing new community initiatives. You give the same materials to everyone, but 30% of the residents in your area don\u2019t read English as a first language. To be equitable and provide everyone with the same information, you\u2019d need to print\/email the information in other languages too.\u00a0<\/p><h3>Equity in Education<\/h3><p>Students from all backgrounds should have equal education opportunities, from early childhood to higher education. You might think equal learning opportunities mean having computer labs with the same number of computers and operating hours for each school. However, a more equitable approach would be to operate longer opening hours and have more computers and printers at schools in lower-income neighborhoods where students are less likely to have the resources they need at home.\u00a0<\/p><h3>Equity in the Online World<\/h3><p>The information on your website is unlikely to be accessible or inclusive of everyone because no uniform solution can account for variations in individual needs.
