On March 21 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., Local Immigration Partnerships in Simcoe, Grey-Bruce and Lanark and Renfrew Counties are jointly hosting an online panel discussion on Allyship to mark International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Expert panelists will discuss what it means to be an ally and provide guidance on how to address racism in different environments. The discussion will be followed by a half-hour, open Q&A session.
The panel includes experts in diversity, equity and inclusion, community building, advocacy and changemaking. The discussion will be monitored by faculty from Georgian College.
