Considerations

We acknowledge the climate of anti-racism is necessarily ever-evolving and thus this document should be considered as a living and breathing resource that will continue to evolve and change in order to reflect the work that informs it. With the number of programs, events, resources, and opportunities that exist within the realm of anti-racism at UBC, this document cannot and does not represent an exhaustive list of anti-racist initiatives at UBC.

In its current state, the A-RTL Ecosystems Table includes some UBC initiatives, programs, events, resources, and opportunities that apply to both the Vancouver and Okanagan campuses, with more of a focus on the UBC-Vancouver campus. To include more UBC-Okanagan facing resources and initiatives, individuals from the Okanagan campus have been consulted in the development of this A-RTL Ecosystems Table.
