We are excited to announce the Anti-Racism Speaker Series to spotlight equity, diversity, and inclusion experts who are doing important work to help address and educate on issues of racism in Winnipeg and across Canada.  The Anti-Racism Speaker Series is brought to by the Human Rights Committee of Council and the City’s HR-Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion team.
