The program goal is that successful applicants will learn the skills needed to offer training on how bystanders can confidently address racist incidents and facilitate community dialogues on racism and discrimination in their communities, the release said.
Singh shared this is a push forward and anti-racist step to dismantle the systemic barriers that have held Indigenous, Black and people of colour back for generations. “This training will build our capacity to do just that by combining core lessons with the unique needs of each rural community, so we can create a response that fits.”
“Traditional diversity and inclusion trainings have failed to create the sustainable change required to address systemic inequities,” said Karen Hira, executive director, VIRCS. “Investing in the meaningful, supported exploration of systemic racism and its impact on our everyday lives will help us build more resilient, compassionate and equitable communities.”
