Racial Equity Resources
Welcome to the Racial Equity Resources page. Here you will find free anti-racism e-learning modules, a curated library of information and tools, as well as our model for working together in community to build racial equity on the North Shore. These resources were developed in partnership with many collaborators and local service organizations. We are proud to host this page, which offers carefully selected resources that will inspire us to build communities and spaces free from racism.
Anti-Racism E-Learning
Here you will find four self-directed learning modules to increase your awareness of racism. Each module contains a short video, reflection questions to discuss in your staff teams, and a quick quiz to check your understanding.
Racial Equity Toolkit
The Racial Equity Toolkit provides curated information and resources to build knowledge, take action, and collaborate for racial equity.
Racial Equity Community Garden Strategy
The garden approach to racial equity work centers collaboration across organizations and communities. It has a long-term vision of change that takes into account the importance of land and historical contexts, building infrastructure, sharing tools, and celebrating success.
The Achieving Racial Equity: Tools & Strategies of mid-sized Canadian Communities (Racial Equity) Project was a collaboration of dedicated partners across the health, arts & culture and social services sectors on the North Shore. The expertise, contributions and support were instrumental in shaping and developing the strategies and tools in the Racial Equity Community of Practice portal.
Impact North Shore is located on the stolen, traditional, and ancestral territories of the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh, nations. At Impact North Shore, we believe that in order to achieve equity we must intentionally create opportunities and access to resources that reduce the disparities caused by historic injustices and contemporary oppression. We humbly commit to the work of Reconciliation as called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and take on our responsibility to “weave a stronger and more vibrant social fabric based on the unique strengths of Indigenous peoples and all Canadians.”
