As you know, our community has mobilized recently in response to the upsetting and (for some) eye-opening acts of anti-Black racism and intolerance in Canada, and beyond. Knowing how important it is for groups and organizations to be explicit in messaging that racism, discrimination and intolerance has no place in our community, while also demonstrating accountability for moving forward in a good way, the Steering Committee is offering the attached statement to members of the CYPT, and to the community. The statement notes starting point actions that builds on efforts of the membership to date, while we work together to find particularly meaningful and impactful actions that can be made at a system-level for children, youth and families.
