Anti-Racism Learning Series

The Government of Canada has an ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, and is working towards the elimination of racism and discrimination in all its forms. The Anti-Racism Learning Series was designed to support this goal by providing information on issues of racism and the systemic barriers that exist for marginalized and racialized groups in Canada.

It provides access to tools, job aids, courses, workshops and events on topics such as anti-Black racism, unconscious bias, disaggregated data, mental health and the challenges faced by visible minorities in the public service.

Wherever you are on your anti-racism journey, the Anti-Racism Learning Series will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to foster change.
