Racism and discrimination: What needs to be done?

A presentation by the Lethbridge Action on Racism Circle

(Sponsored by Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs)

April 13, 7:00 pm

Theatre Gallery, Lethbridge Public Library


Panellists: Dr. Jo-Anne Fiske, Dr. Trudy Govier, Pastor Ruth Preston Schilk, Pastor Jason Anderson, Sarah Sweet Grass, Kayress Dela Cruz, Mary Kosta, Mike Frank

The Lethbridge Action on Racism Circle has undertaken several initiatives to address racism and discrimination in Lethbridge. Their work has been informed by dialogue with over 100 community members at potluck meetings. Through this process, varied and creative recommendations for action at several levels were gathered and published in two reports that have been widely disseminated.

A screening of a special series on racism by CTV’s Dory Rossiter will precede the panel presentation. The panel will then highlight key recommendations from its reports, and share stories of personal experiences of racism and discrimination. An opportunity will be provided for questions and answers and further dialogue following the presentation.
