Community Voices: Belonging and Anti-Racism – Year two

In light of increasing social division, there is a need for community stakeholders to have a forum in which to discuss issues related to creating an environment of inclusion and belonging for all community members. This project aims to create community connections between multiple stakeholders in Brandon to collaboratively identify goals to work towards, barriers encountered, and ways forward. The project, led by Westman Immigrant Services and Brandon University, is further strengthened by the involvement of Brandon’s Local Immigration Partnership, Interdisciplinary Immigration Research Network, Brandon Friendship Centre, and key community stakeholders, both for ongoing involvement and in promoting the research outcomes through their various networks. This project will launch a discussion about inclusivity locally but will serve as a pilot project for both expanding the model of community consultations to broader regions in Manitoba and across Canada.
