Teresa Wat, minister of International Trade and Responsible for Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism, announced $240,000 of grants to 24 communities that participate in BC Organizing Against Racism and Hate.
“Cultural diversity is vital to a strong and vibrant social and economic future for BC and acts of racism threaten that future,” stated Wat in a media release.
