New training program tackles anti-Indigenous racism
xxxx色情片 (VCC) will be offering a new training program focused on anti-racist facilitation.

This xxxx色情片Award of Achievement program, delivered in partnership with the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres (), begins March 4 and runs for six weeks.
“Indigenous-specific racism is a troubling dynamic that extends into virtually all sectors of Canadian society, from the classroom to the team meeting to the boardroom,” says Cheryl Ward, the reconciliation project team lead at BCAAFC.
“This program will help people develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills required to effectively respond to anti-Indigenous racism in their organizations,” adds Leslie Varley, BCAAFC Executive Director.

“As my Elders have shared with me over the years, it is how we connect and interact with people that is the most important thing. This new pilot project with the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres is so important in xxxx色情片building relationships with Indigenous communities moving forward with our commitment to reconciliation,” he says.
