North Shore Anti-Racism Network

The North Shore Anti-Racism Network consists of over 20 community stakeholders representing key sectors such as health & wellness services, education & school districts, faith groups, law enforcement, restorative justice, social services agencies, Indigenous partners, municipal government and more. We encourage and support BIPOC representation in our membership and intentionally centre and amplify BIPOC voices and perspectives in the work we lead.

The goal of the North Shore Racism Response Protocol is to reduce harm and increase safety across the North Shore through developing effective, coordinated responses to incidents of racial discrimination, racism and hate by:

• Equipping the community with information, education and tools to more appropriately respond to, report on, and support victims of a range of raceand hate-based incidents
• Expanding beyond “reactive” response protocols (i.e. focusing on reporting incidents after they happen) to include proactive and holistic approaches (e.g. prevention, preparation, active intervention, and follow-up supports)

The North Shore Racism Response Protocol is a publicly available resource distributed through the North Shore Anti-Racism Network.
