Anti Racism Resources

At Experiences Canada, we’re committed to helping young Canadians open their minds, exploring the diversity of language, culture, and lived experiences within our country. We believe that systemic racism is best addressed at the earliest age, encouraging mutual understanding and respect through direct opportunities to learn from one another. In recent days we’re reminded of why this work is so important, and how we always need to be thinking of how we can do better.
