Westminster Woods welcomes, supports, and celebrates people of all identities. We understand that our community is stronger with individuals from diverse backgrounds and diverse racial, religious, socio-economic, gender, orientation, ability-status, body size and ethnic groups. We commit to honoring each person’s identities as a unique and vital part of our community and to supporting each person in a way that is considerate of their specific needs.

Westminster Woods does not tolerate intentional hate speech or discrimination based on a person’s identity.
