Federal funding announced for anti-racism projects

Aug 11, 2021

The federal Canadian Heritage department and Diversity and Inclusion Minister Bardish Chagger announced $20.4 million in funding for 92 anti-racism projects Canada-wide "that address systemic barriers faced by Indigenous peoples, racialized communities, and religious minorities."

The projects are funded through the Anti-Racism Action Program.

"Our government is committed to combatting anti-Black, anti-Asian, anti-Indigenous racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all other forms of racism," Chagger said. "The support provided through the Anti-Racism Action Program will help address the systemic barriers that prevent many communities from participating fully and equitably in all aspects of society. We will continue empowering and enabling organizations that aim to dismantle systemic racism to build a more inclusive Canada."
