Alberta Anti-Racism Advisory Council recommendations

The recommendations submitted to the Government of Alberta were based on research from subcommittees on four priority areas: a government that reflects Alberta; preventing and responding to hate crimes and hate incidents; teaching respect for each other; and valuing skills and experiences in the workplace.

Alberta’s government has begun work on a number of anti-racism initiatives, including: establishing a hate crime liaison and a Hate Crimes Coordination Unit; formally recognizing First Nations policing under The Police Act; banning the practice of carding; introducing the Alberta Security Infrastructure Program; enacting the Fair Registrations Practices Act and creating the Fairness for Newcomers Office, which helps new Albertans get their credentials recognized; and developing an inclusive communications policy for government. These recommendations will help guide the government’s work on anti-racism initiatives going forward.
