The Centre for Race and Culture works within the community to advocate and support individual, social and systemic change to address racism and discrimination and increase intercultural understanding. Our expertise spans workplace development, community building, research and education.

The work of CFRAC is grounded in the issues, concerns, and strengths in the community. Taking an intersectional approach, we engage in a range of work that addresses our key objectives:

• Educate about discrimination, racism, bias, prejudice, micro-aggressions, diversity and inclusion, social equity, gender equity, and intercultural understanding through seminars, workshops, public forums, resources, research projects, and conferences intended for the general public
• Conduct research, compile data, and disseminate results about discrimination, with the focus on racism or ethno-racial disparities, to increase understanding and awareness about existing rights and lived experiences of racial and cultural groups that have been marginalized and minoritized, including but not limited to Indigenous, Black, and Newcomer communities
• Work towards addressing hate incidents and hate crimes through public education and research, and providing prevention and intervention strategies.
