Anti-Racism Resources
Resources for Parents And Families:
As a parent, opening discussions around race can be sensitive, uncomfortable and even messy. Start by talking with your child about anti-black racism and how systemic racism works. Make time to discuss what white privilege means and how it operates.
If you are a parent of a Black child, your child may have already experienced racism in their everyday lives. It is even more important to check in with your child by listening to what they have experienced or witnessed and asking them how they feel. These are important first steps.

Resources for Schools:
Education is the social institution that has been pointed to as the universal equalizer. Nova Scotia’s Inclusive Education Policy calls on each one of us, and every facet of the education system across the province, to use this moment to use our privilege to respond to the legacy of systemic racism with meaningful, lasting change.
