People in B.C. will see stronger, more inclusive communities as local organizations can now apply for provincial grants that back projects fighting racism and promoting multicultural understanding.

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement on Canadian Multiculturalism Day:

People from diverse backgrounds with an interest in dismantling systemic racism and advancing racial equity are encouraged to apply to be members of the Provincial Committee on Anti-Racism.

The Province has released initial research findings into barriers experienced by Indigenous Peoples and racialized people in the public service, schools and health care.
