Anti-Racism Project

Overview

Anti-racism work at Chiefs of Ontario is rooted in several resolutions, including Resolution 21/36 Anti-Racism Work in Ontario, Resolution 94/22 Racism in Thunder Bay, Resolution 01/18 Legislation to Reduce Racism, Resolution 18/16 Implementation of Youth Inquest Recommendations, and Resolution 11/17 Inquest on Deaths of Indigenous Youth in Care.

At Chiefs of Ontario, we continue to advance and monitor anti-racism issues by:

  • Providing capacity to advance anti-racism issues and initiatives;
  • Identifying opportunities for anti-racism work and/or facilitating the creation of new opportunities; and
  • Working with other sectors to advocate for and monitor the implementation of the TRC Calls to Action, MMIWG Calls to Justice, Ipperwash Inquiry recommendations, and recommendations from countless other inquiries, reports and rulings.
Chiefs of Ontario invites you to participate in this campaign to keep the conversation about dismantling systemic racism going.

Here's how you can get involved:

  1. Share on social media. Chiefs of Ontario invites First Nations, Provincial Territorial Organizations, Tribal Councils, First Nations organizations, and the broader public to download the social media graphics and share them on your social media channels with the hashtags: #DismantleSystemicRacism or #PromoteAllyship and tagging @ChiefsofOntario
  2. Read the booklet. We've prepared a booklet to accompany the social media campaign. The booklet explores seven ways systemic racism manifests itself in Ontario and Canada and looks at a case study for each.
  3. Spread the word. Our hope is that the content of this campaign help to inform and empower others to speak out against systemic racism and become advocates for the implementation of concrete solutions.
