This is a vital moment in time. Racism in Canada is both real and intolerable and it attacks the very idea of equality and opportunity – we need to acknowledge and tackle it.
Together, we must to listen, learn and challenge ourselves to undo the devastating toll of systemic racism in our communities.
The events of the past week remind us that systemic racism is a form of violence, and reinforces that we must create an inclusive world for all.
We stand together with those feeling deep pain and anger during this time.
Your United Way is committed to our values, to diversity, inclusion and equity. We foster making space for everyone and welcome and value all contributions.
We will be relentless in working to ensure a future free from racism.
