As one of our stakeholders you are part of a network that is committed to Canadian identity, which is a set of shared values based on respect, social justice and equity.
Our website is evolving and will soon have the capabilities to allow you to share your resources and work with others. Meanwhile you are invited to take an active part, and invite your friends to engage in the difficult and often uncomfortable discussion around racism.
Lets talk about it Join the
CRRF Challenge by visiting www.crrf-fcrr.ca - The CRRF joined forces with the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) to host and moderate the online screening of 10 short films as part of
Work For All, Films Against Racism in the Workplace. The NFB will be
blogging on the films for the next ten weeks and the CRRF will be using these films as fuel to ignite and frame various
discussions on racism. Be sure to let others know where you stand by
adding your comments.
Ayman Al- Yassini, the Executive Director of the Foundation will be posting his comments about race related issues on
Facebook. Become a
friend of the Foundation and share your views.

Do you feel you need to go deeper and explore a New Paradigm for Understanding, Unlearning and Addressing Bias in Society? As serendipity would have it, the Foundation in partnership with CEETUM is organizing and hosting a 3 day symposium on the subject. The symposium will take place at the University of Quebec in Montreal, May 17-19. Take advantage of the
early bird registration and special hotel rates that are available until the 16th of April. The program and registration forms are available online at
www.crrf-fcrr.ca. The winners of the biennial Award of Excellence will be announced during the conference.
