Vernon agency receives anti-racism grant

Apr 16, 2025 | 12:23 PM

A local organization was named a recipient of funding to support anti-racism projects.

Independent Living Vernon was gifted $5,000 through the B.C. Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Grants program.

The funds would be used to support the organization’s Intersectional Advocacy Resources, an information resource dedicated to assisting people to advocate for themselves and help Indigenous and racialized people navigate large government systems.

The information provided through the program would not necessarily need to be specific to Indigenous or racialized people.
