This workshop is not a traditional webinar but a live virtual training! These two 3 hour virtual sessions will be highly interactive where participants engage with each other in discussions, case studies and skill development in both small breakout groups as well as in the main classroom. You will be listening to the facilitator and you will communicate with the facilitator and other participants using chat. You will not be seen and only heard if you ask questions via audio rather than chat.

Workshop Objectives will include: 

• Where did the term Race originate?
• Agreements for Creating a Safe Space for Training;
• Identifying the Fears in Addressing Race;

• History of Racism and Colonialism in Canada;
• Understanding Social Identity and Unconscious Bias – How to reduce bias in hiring;
• The Role of  Privilege, Power & Stereotypes;
• Micro-Aggressions: How do we knowingly or unknowingly contribute to the experience of racism;
• Deconstructing Racism: Systemic, Institutional, Interpersonal, Internalized.
