Diversity and inclusion are cornerstones of Canadian identity, a source of social and economical force, and something of which all Canadians can be proud. However, even in an open and diverse society like ours, we know that there are still very real challenges. Building a Foundation for Change requires us to commencement admit that there is a problem nosotros need to accost. We know that throughout our history, and even today, there are people and communities who confront systemic racism and discrimination in our country. Recent events at home and abroad have besides shown that no customs is immune to the furnishings of hateful rhetoric. Whether it'south racism and discrimination that is anti-Indigenous, Islamophobic, antisemitic, anti-Black, or homophobic, information technology is clear that the Government of Canada needs to practice more than to combat racism and bigotry in its various forms.

The experiences of racialized communities and Indigenous Peoples with racism and discrimination can also vary. Applying an intersectional lens reveals a complex movie of the way that dissimilar groups and individuals are excluded and harmed. The Government of Canada is committed to building a foundation for change by removing barriers and promoting a country where every person is able to fully participate and have an equal opportunity to succeed. Achieving this vision is non just a fashion to build a meliorate land, it likewise addresses the human cost of racism and bigotry. Building a society that is free of racism requires ongoing delivery.

From October 2018 to March 2019, appointment sessions were held across the country to gather input from Canadians, especially those with lived experiences of racism and bigotry, in gild to help inform the development of a new federal anti-racism strategy. The engagement process consisted of 22 in-person forums that welcomed approximately 600 people and 443 organizations.

Guiding principles

Building a Foundation for Change: Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy 2019–2022 is guided by a vision of Canada where all Canadians do good from equitable access to and participation in the economic, cultural, social and political spheres. Information technology builds a foundation for long-term action by supporting three guiding principles:

Demonstrating Federal Leadership
The Government of Canada must take a leading role addressing systemic racism and bigotry when found to exist inside our federal institutions and in public policies, programs and services. Recognizing the demand for authorities action to be coordinated, an Anti-Racism Secretariat will be established to lead work across government to coordinate federal action and identify and develop further areas for activeness through appointment with communities and Indigenous Peoples, stakeholders, and other levels of government.
Empowering Communities
Ethnic Peoples and communities on the footing who take expertise in addressing various forms of racism and bigotry must be supported. Funding for projects and chapters building at the community level recognizes and enhances their expertise. It allows them to depict on their lived experiences to tailor initiatives to their particular circumstances.
Building Awareness and Irresolute Attitudes
We demand to increase awareness of the historical roots of racism and discrimination, and their impacts on our communities and Indigenous Peoples. Data and prove are indispensable tools for identifying and addressing inequities, and enabling corrective activeness toward the elimination of racism and bigotry. We demand to identify what works, and foster understanding of racism and discrimination and their impacts among all Canadians.

Demonstrating Federal Leadership

A Whole-of-Regime Approach: The Anti-Racism Secretariat

Canadians empathize that multifariousness is our forcefulness. However, we know that even today there are people and communities who experience systemic racism and bigotry. Racialized communities and Ethnic peoples continue to face systemic barriers, notably in employment, justice, and social participation. Leadership requires taking proactive steps to remove these barriers that impose a limit on i's full potential.

Building a Foundation for Change: Canada'south Anti-Racism Strategy 2019-2022 will invest $4.vi million to establish a new Anti-Racism Secretariat inside the Department of Canadian Heritage that volition be supported by existing inter-departmental committees and pb a whole-of-government approach in addressing racism. In add-on to coordinating federal action and driving the overall strategy, the Secretariat will work with federal departments and agencies to accost the effects of discrimination. This means leading federal institutions to place and coordinate responsive initiatives, identify gaps, help in developing new initiatives, and consider the impacts of new and existing policies, services and programs on communities and Indigenous Peoples.

The Secretariat will report publicly on the whole-of-government outcomes in addressing racism and bigotry. Information technology will also contribute to work existence undertaken by the Treasury Board Secretariat toward a more diverse and inclusive public service. Diversity helps us to better understand the needs of the people and communities nosotros serve, which helps us build better programs and services that meet the needs of all Canadians.

The Government of Canada recognizes that to be successful it cannot act lone. Partnerships will be important. The Secretariat will liaise with provinces and territories and will go along to engage and work with non-government partners, Ethnic Peoples and communities to identify and develop further areas for action.

Building on the work nosotros're doing

We're not starting from scratch. The Authorities of Canada has an ongoing delivery to variety and inclusion, and working towards the elimination of racism and discrimination. Action is already being taken across the federal government to help brand a departure in the lives of Canadians by addressing systemic barriers and particular challenges that upshot from racism. This strategy builds on the work the Government of Canada is already doing to address the impacts of racism, and barriers faced by racialized communities, Ethnic Peoples and religious minorities.

Style forward

Engaging Communities and Ethnic Peoples

The cross-country engagement process provided valuable guidance in developing Edifice a Foundation for Modify: Canada'southward Anti-Racism Strategy 2019–2022. The appointment procedure confirmed that combatting racism and bigotry must be a priority for government and citizens akin. Going forward, we will continue to engage racialized communities, religious minority communities and Indigenous Peoples, and meaningfully involve them in controlling related to proposed government actions.

Engaging Provinces and Territories

Provincial and territorial governments are important partners in the fight against racism and discrimination. The new Anti-Racism Secretariat will appoint provinces and territories through existing federal-provincial-territorial networks. It will work to strengthen partnerships and share all-time practices. Through engagement with partners, we will piece of work to identify emerging issues, encourage complementary actions and responses and identify areas for farther collaboration.

Engaging other Regime Departments

Engagement across departments was an important step in the evolution of Building a Foundation for Change: Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy 2019–2022. Moving alee, connected engagement across government will aid increase agreement of how federal regime policies and program can exist better put to utilize to help fight racism and discrimination. Better coordination across government means meliorate sharing of innovative approaches, the development and sharing of new information and identifying hereafter areas for federal activity.

Empowering Communities

Introducing the Anti-Racism Activity Plan

Nosotros know we demand to support people and communities on the ground who have expertise in addressing various forms of racism and discrimination. Building a Foundation for Alter: Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy 2019–2022 will invest $30 million in customs-based projects that aim to address racism and bigotry.

As part of our strategy, a new Anti-Racism Action Program will be launched to provide funding support for local, regional and national initiatives and outcomes-based activities in key areas of intervention:

Employment: reducing barriers to hiring, leadership grooming and workplace skills training, including encouraging partnerships between employers and employees in reducing barriers.
Social Participation: promoting participation and reducing barriers in community sport, arts and civilization and contributing to changing and creating a new public narrative.
Justice: promoting interventions for youth at gamble, including encouraging positive substitution of views and co-cosmos of solutions between communities, Indigenous Peoples and the criminal justice system.

These particular sectors of intervention were identified by research and confirmed by engagement participants as key areas within federal jurisdiction where racism and discrimination are most acutely experienced past Canadians.

Enhanced support for capacity building & promoting dialogue

Additional funding will be directed to the existing Community Support, Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Initiatives Programme (CSMARI) to offer enhanced support for community chapters building and projects that promote diversity and inclusion more generally, as well as inter-customs and interfaith dialogue.

Recognizing expertise

Racism has different impacts on individuals, urban and rural communities and Canadian society as a whole, and a one-size-fits-all approach cannot piece of work. Building a Foundation for Change: Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy 2019–2022 recognizes the expertise of community organizations and Indigenous Peoples, involving them in the blueprint, development and delivery of projects to address the specific barriers they face. It allows for community and people-developed initiatives to target particular problems.

Encouraging innovation

Edifice a Foundation for Alter: Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy 2019–2022 will promote innovative and experimental funding approaches, like prizes and challenges that reward positive results. The continued being of barriers caused by discrimination and racism calls for the test of new or dissimilar approaches to achieving positive outcomes. This volition encourage more people and organizations to join the conversation and contribute to real change.

Building Awareness and Changing Attitudes

Public education and awareness

Public education and awareness are essential in order to effectively piece of work toward the emptying of racial discrimination and inequality. That is why Building a Foundation for Alter: Canada'south Anti-Racism Strategy 2019–2022 volition invest $3.3 1000000 for a National Public Teaching and Awareness Entrada based on regional and demographic needs that volition be informed and developed with impacted communities and Indigenous Peoples. Its goal will be to increase public sensation and understanding, in both urban and rural areas, of the historical roots of racism and its different impacts on Indigenous Peoples, as well equally racialized and religious minority communities.

Indigenous focused approach

Every bit reiterated past Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, no relationship is more important to Canada than the human relationship with Indigenous Peoples. The Regime of Canada is working together with Indigenous Peoples to build a nation-to-nation, Indigenous-Crown, government-to-regime relationship – i based on respect, partnership and recognition of rights.

In addition, progress is currently being made to implement the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee of Canada to redress the legacy of residential schools and advance reconciliation.

The report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls issued 231 Calls for Justice directed at governments, institutions, social service providers and all Canadians. The Prime number Minister committed to engaging with Ethnic governments, families and survivors, Indigenous womens' organizations, provinces and territories in developing a national action programme to reply to the report. The government understands that this process requires its own, full response. In the meantime, through Building a Foundation for Change: Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy 2019-2022, the Authorities of Canada is committed to continue working with Ethnic peoples to promote educational sensation on the history and experiences of Ethnic Peoples in Canada including the effects of colonialism and the results of the residential school system that remain misunderstood in many parts of the country. Furthermore, the Strategy recognizes the distinct experiences of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples and those of the singled-out peoples they encompass, empowering them to bring their ain perspectives and to make decisions on what initiatives will best encounter their needs.

Furthermore, the Secretariat will engage with Ethnic Peoples and partners to identify and develop further areas for activity.

Addressing hate crimes & combatting online hate

Co-ordinate to Statistics Canada, police-reported hate crimes motivated by faith, race, or ethnicity, increased past 47% in twelvemonth 2017. Through our engagement with communities and people with lived experiences, we heard that Black Canadians, Muslims, Asian and Jewish communities are some of the groups who experience detest crimes unduly. There are also growing national and international concerns effectually the spread of online hate oral communication. We have even seen its impacts here at dwelling when six lives were lost and many others injured during a horrific shooting at a mosque in Quebec City.

Online platforms have increasingly become a tool to incite, publish and promote terrorism, violence and hatred. The March 2019 terror attack in Christchurch, New-Zeland was a harrowing reminder that we demand to have coordinated action to prevent social media and other online platforms from being used in these ways. That is why Canada joined the Christchurch Telephone call to Action – a global pledge to eliminate terrorist and trigger-happy extremist content online. Through the Christchurch Call, governments and online services providers are making voluntary, commonage commitments to combat online hate.

Canada's Digital Charter that builds on these commitments was also enacted in May 2019. One of its fundamental principles is freedom from hate and violent extremism: Canadians tin can expect that digital platforms will non foster or disseminate detest, violent extremism or criminal content. The Charter highlights the Authorities of Canada'due south commitment to standing its bilateral and multilateral efforts to work with digital industry including social media platforms to better address violent extremist and terrorist use of the Cyberspace and online hate, in concert with other federal authorities efforts to address online impairment.

Through the Anti-Racism Activeness Program in Building a Foundation for Modify: Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy 2019-2022, an investment of $five million volition be made to support community-led digital and borough literacy programming to address online disinformation and hate speech. This reflects heightened concerns around online detest and the need to back up local communities. This will be complemented by an boosted investment of $0.ix million to support Public Safety Canada in developing a national framework and testify-based guidelines to ameliorate reply to detest crimes, hate incidents and hate speech.

Data and evidence

Meliorate, more than precise, and more consistent tracking, collection and measurement of information is necessary for any effective anti-racism effort.

Through Building a Foundation for Change: Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy 2019–2022, the Government of Canada will invest $6.ii 1000000 to increase reliable, usable and comparable data and evidence regarding racism and bigotry. This includes working with Statistics Canada and the Centre for Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Statistics, and enhancing the drove of disaggregated data that tin be cleaved down past meaningful categories of race and/or ethno-cultural origins, and the analysis of this data.

The Strategy will also strengthen impact measurement and performance reporting. We will work to ensure that information is nerveless to measure how constructive community programs and regime initiatives are, and where the almost affect is achieved.

Some of the investments that volition be made through the Strategy to increase available information include oversampling Statistics Canada's 2020 General Social Survey – Social Identity. The General Social Survey gathers data on social trends, and monitors changes in living atmospheric condition and well-being. Oversampling allows a better breakup of data on detail groups in certain regions of Canada.

Investments likewise include support to Statistics Canada's Expert Advisory Committee on Ethno-cultural and Clearing Statistics, and support to the Department of Justice'south National Legal Problems Survey. The National Legal Issues Survey provides information on the number of Canadians who feel legal issues related to discrimination.

Ensuring a lasting impact

Building a Foundation for Change: Canada'south Anti-Racism Strategy 2019–2022 contributes to the Government of Canada's vision to foster and promote an inclusive society where everyone is able to fully participate in the economic, cultural, social and political spheres.

The investments in the Strategy are building on electric current efforts to build long-term changes in supporting communities and for improved policies, initiatives and practices in our federal institutions. They are meant to be the starting time step of a longer-term commitment and a foundation for change to accost racism and discrimination in Canada. These investments will assist achieve measurable, evidence-based objectives focused on increasing equity of access and/or participation amidst people and communities most impacted past racism and discrimination.

Ultimately, the Strategy is expected to increase equity of access and participation amid racialized communities, religious minorities and Indigenous Peoples to employment, justice and social participation, as well as increased public awareness of the barriers and challenges faced by racialized communities, religious minorities and Indigenous Peoples.
