We know that diversity is one of our greatest strengths, and its fullness is only realized when injustices and inequalities are challenged by people standing up, speaking out, and pushing back against racism in all its forms.

Our goal in the RRC Polytech community is to transform our culture and institution where anti-racism guides our leadership, policies, and actions.

The journey of Anti-Racism finds folks on many different paths, or some are not sure which direction to take. Open to RRC Polytech students, faculty, and staff, a series of Anti-Racism educational workshops are set to take place this Winter 2023 term. Through the workshops, critical concepts of race and racism will be unpacked for participants as contextualized in Canadian history and society. From this learning, participants will have a clear understanding of how racism operates and be provided with some initial strategies for taking an active role to eliminate barriers to access and equity.

The workshops will occur at the Connected Classroom Studio (G139) on the Notre Dame Campus. All events will occur from 12:00-13:00 unless otherwise noted. On-campus registration is limited to 50 participants. Online participants will receive a link to access the event’s live stream. For accessibility purposes, an ASL interpreter will be hosted at the live event and captured in the video recordings for anyone requiring interpretation.
