Anti-Racism
The Government of British Columbia has developed a series of Anti-racism Reminders to help everyone see things in a different light and spur conversations at home, at work and all the places needed to create a better and safer B.C.
We all can help prevent racism and create positive change in our communities. It is not enough to be “not racist”. To be anti-racist, we must work to speak up and dismantle racism in all its forms.
The Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network offers a multi-faceted, province wide approach with greater focus and leadership in identifying and challenging racism.
We see a future free from racism and hate. The Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network website provides tools to help you do the hard work and make this vision a reality.
