Nominations are open to honour individuals and organizations that are championing multiculturalism and addressing racism throughout British Columbia.
People are invited to submit nominations for the 2023 Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Awards for individuals, organizations, and youth whose work has enhanced inclusion and cultural diversity, and addressed racism and discrimination in their communities.
Nominations will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on Feb. 20. There are three categories with five awards in total:
• The Intercultural Trust Award (two awards) is provided to an outstanding organization or individual for their work in building intercultural trust and understanding and/or reducing racism and hate between communities
• The Breaking Barriers Award (two awards) is provided to an outstanding organization or individual for their work in tackling systemic or institutional racism and reducing barriers for marginalized communities
• The Emerging Leader Award (one award) is provided to an outstanding youth/young adult between 15 and 30 for their work building intercultural trust, tackling racism, or reducing barriers for marginalized communities
The youth award recipient will receive $5,000 to donate to a not-for-profit organization of their choice to further promote multiculturalism and anti-racism.
The 2023 Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Awards ceremony will take place on March 21, to coincide with the annual International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. All nominees and winners will be invited to attend.
Since its inception in 2008, about 50 individuals and organizations have received Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Awards.
