Anti-racism engagement

Albertans shared their perspectives on the impact racism has in this province and on government actions to address racism.

Overview

We gathered input from Albertans and Indigenous communities to help ensure future government actions to address racism are effective and inclusive. 

We are committed to listening and learning about the experiences of racialized individuals and Indigenous Peoples. This commitment includes steps to protect vulnerable groups from hate and discrimination, removing systemic barriers to accessing government programs, ensuring Albertans have equal access to information and services, and empowering communities to promote inclusion, diversity, multiculturalism and social connection.

Your input will help inform next steps for anti-racism actions, building upon Alberta’s Anti-Racism Action Plan to take meaningful action to address racism and help build a more welcoming and inclusive province for everyone.
