Indigenous and racialized people in B.C. will face fewer barriers when accessing public programs and services with new legislation aimed at removing systemic racism from provincial institutions.

New legislation will help keep kids safe and focused on their education by preventing disruptive behaviour, including aggressive protests, on school grounds.

People seeking legal assistance will have more choices with changes to how lawyers, notaries and other legal professionals are regulated.

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:
