More than 60 organizations have received funding to support projects designed to counter racism and promote inclusivity throughout the province.

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination:

Community organizations are invited to apply for annual grants that support projects that tackle racial inequity and foster inter-cultural understanding in B.C.

Racialized people can now share their perspectives in culturally safe spaces as 68 organizations across B.C. receive more than $300,000 to engage community members on the development of new anti-racism legislation.

Everyone living in B.C. is encouraged to take the BC Demographic Survey to help identify systemic racism in government services.

More people will have better access to the tools and resources needed to address racism and build more inclusive communities, as 60 organizations receive support through the B.C. Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Grants program.

Premier David Eby has announced a new cabinet made of experience and new energy that will focus on tackling the problems people are facing, and working to make life better for British Columbians.
