Burnaby Together’s vision is a city where all community members are welcomed, valued and respected.
We are part of Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network and formed to lead anti-racism and anti-hate work in the Burnaby community.
The Burnaby Together Coalition, operating under the Organizations Against Racism and Hate (OARH) program, embarked on a transformative journey aimed at promoting multiculturalism, addressing racism, and fostering inclusive communities. With a strong community-driven approach, the coalition expanded its reach to urban areas, engaging communities in its mission.
The Coalition addressed anti-racism and discrimination by recognizing on-going education continues to be important to frontline workers and any member in the community. Based on our learnings on how to best engage the community, we used a hybrid model of offering online and in person events.
Our goals are:
To ensure that the Burnaby community has an increased knowledge and understanding of what comprises racism and hate crimes and have established a supportive and collaborative response.
To ensure Burnaby communities are mobilized to implement racism and hate protocols; and engage community members and community stakeholders in dialogues and consultations by increasing awareness through anti-racism education opportunities.
Raise your voice and be heard in your community.
