Government of Canada Announces Funding for Anti-Racism Projects Across the Country.

Strengthening diversity and inclusion is fundamental to fostering and promoting a more consciously inclusive society, where everyone is able to participate fully in the economic, cultural, social, and political spheres. Racism, and all forms of discrimination, is one of the main causes of social and economic barriers for many Canadians. Through the Anti-Racism Action Program, the Government of Canada is investing $15 million to fund 85 anti-racism projects that aim to remove systemic barriers.

British Columbia Electrical Association’s project will focus on building diversity and inclusion into the electrical industry. This project will support the BCEA to work with its members in developing inclusive workplaces and addressing barriers for racialized communities in accessing and retaining employment in the electrical industry.
