Interested in learning about Anti-Racism or perhaps starting a study group among friends, students or at work?

This Toolkit was created in collaboration with the Centre for Civic Religious Literacy, 2 advisory groups and 22 local reviewers across British Columbia. We’ve chosen to encourage insight, empathy, and listening, emphasizing respect and the need to be kind and compassionate as we learn with and from each other.

It’s yours to use!

We welcome everyone interested in this important issue to explore the Toolkit and consider sharing some or preferably all of the 8 sessions with a group.

The Anti-Racism Toolkit shares outlines for 8 sessions of 1.5 to 2 hours, each of which can be used alone (links below) or as part of the series. Time can be added to sessions for more discussion, and/or Q&A if there’s an invited guest.
