'Discrimination and racism are real, and too many people in this province continue to be victimized by hate.'
Four Burnaby organizations are set to benefit from the B.C. Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Grants program.
The province distributed approximately $300,000 earlier this week to 60 community groups for projects that aim to dismantle systemic racism, address hate incidents and support racialized communities. "Discrimination and racism are real, and too many people in this province continue to be victimized by hate," B.C. Attorney General Niki Sharma said in a news release.
"I'm encouraged and inspired to see so many organizations standing up and speaking out against racism and making B.C. a more welcoming place."Burnaby Family Life OURO Collective Society Vancouver Street Dance Association
