We thFighting racism and discrimination. We are thrilled to announce our grant
approval for the Capacity building in confronting racism and discrimination
from CSMARI. The Community Support, Multiculturalism, and Anti-Racism
Initiatives Program supports the mandate of the Department of Canadian
Heritage by building on Canada's strength as a diverse and inclusive
society. Team TPASN would be reaching out to our community
partners for further collaboration.
Being disabled on top of racial identity feels double discrimination: services provided for our children have a poorer quality compared to the ones from non-racialized communities. There are facts of how service providers take advantage of us based on racial identity. We assume, that those service providers maybe are not aware that it calls racial discrimination, thus our project is more needed than we can imagine. Thorncliffe and Flemingdon Park Neighborhoods, in which the organization is operating, is highly populated with newcomers and people who refer themselves as religious minorities or racialized. All the staff and families from our network share the same lived experience, so we are very well aware about challenges we face as a multicultural community. We lack knowledge on how to address these issues and how to advocate for our rights. We hope that through this project we can build understanding of the disparities and challenges faced by racialized and religious minority communities.
TPASN is in its early life stage and this project grant is a great opportunity to learn and build capacity for leadership and outreach strategies. This will help in developing partnerships with the local agencies, services and businesses. It will also stimulate staff to work closely with community leaders and local residents as well as with the families raising children with special needs towards addressing and eliminating racial discrimination.
As a result of this grant, Community will gain a strong advocate in the face of our organization for addressing discriminatory issues and promoting diversity and inclusion of racialized and religious minority of affected communities.
Community agencies, service providers, resident leaders will gain skills and knowledge about racism and discrimination; will get understanding of the disparities and challenges faced by racialized population.
We created a survey for our residents to find out their knowledge and experience with racial discrimination:
