卑诗省反种族歧视项目议会秘书艾美宝在「反种族歧视醒觉周」首天发表以下声明:

「2023年5月22日至26日的『反种族歧视醒觉周』为卑诗省民提供机会,认识本省的多元文化和历史,并反思如何在本周以至全年每一天对抗歧视、种族主义和仇恨。卑诗省容不下种族歧视。只要我们携手维护平等,便可令到本省成为更理想和更有共融性的地方。」

「每个人可透过众多途径,瞭解并解决自己社区的种族主义和歧视问题。Resilience BC 反种族主义网络 (Resilience BC Anti-racism Network) 为他们的社区提供教育机会、工具和资源。」

「我们在学校作出重要变动以对抗种族主义和歧视。今年初,我们推出了《 幼儿园至12年班反种族主义行动计划》 (K-12 Anti-Racism Action Plan),给予家长、教师和学生工具和资源,在推动社区变革担当更积极的角色。」

「政府亦将透过立法消除系统性歧视。2022年推出的《 反种族主义数据法》(Anti-Racism Data Act)让政府得以收集以种族为基础的数据,从而识别人们在使用政府计划和服务时的差别和障碍。下一步,政府将根据这历史性法案,在2024年推出更广泛的反种族歧视法案,届时政府将需要为处理种族主义和歧视议题负责。社会大众将于今夏获邀参与网上问卷调查,就新法案表达己见。」

「请以自己的方式对抗种族主义,并与我一同庆祝『反种族歧视醒觉周』。不论是对你所属机构具有歧视性的手法提出质疑,抑或于餐桌讨论不同文化和观点,我们可齐心令卑诗省变成更公平公正的地方。」

The Society of We Are Canadians Too created Pancouver to foster greater appreciation for underrepresented artistic communities. A rising tide of understanding lifts all of us.

We would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). With this acknowledgement, we thank the Indigenous peoples who still live on and care for this land.
