Power of Discourse Consulting in Richmond is receiving $5,000 thanks to a B.C. Multiculturalism Grant aimed at reducing racism and discrimination.
The funding will help the organization run a Safer Spaces Project, providing educators and school administrators with the tools and knowledge required to create safer spaces for Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour (IBPOC) youth.
Across the province, 60 organizations in total are receiving support.
"Over the past two years, we've seen a staggering increase in racism and hate incidents in B.C.," said Rachna Singh, Parliamentary Secretary for Anti-Racism Initiatives. "These grants are one of many steps in our fight against racism, helping organizations on the ground address systemic racism. This is important work, and I am grateful to everyone stepping up to build anti-racist workplaces and communities."
This spring, the province will introduce anti-racism data legislation. Informed by extensive community engagement, the legislation will help government identify inequities in programs and services, address barriers, and pave the way to a more equitable province.
