You are invited! Join us at, Introduction to Systemic Discrimination, a free 90-minute educational session hosted by BC’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner on Thursday, January 15. 

Have you ever wondered what systemic discrimination is? Or what its impacts are? Join one of our free 90-minute sessions to learn about how systems in our workplaces, organizations and communities can create barriers and harms for certain groups.
