Racism toward racialized people in Canada and around the world is engrained within the very building blocks of our society.

Deepen your understanding of the historic and current realities of racism in Canada, and learn from the perspectives and experiences of racialized professionals. Consider the commitment, courage and creativity required to dismantle racism within organizations both on micro and macro levels.
