The purpose of Canada’s Environmental Justice and Racism Symposium (the Symposium) is to enable civil society to participate in pre-consultation related to the development of a national strategy to assess, prevent, and address environmental racism and to advance environmental justice. This forum is intended to facilitate a national discussion with those already working on environmental racism and justice issues within the Canadian context.
This Call for Proposals process will aim to capture national perspectives by reflecting a diversity of experiences and identities including those engaged in advocacy groups, environmental non-governmental organizations, academia and youth.
There are a limited number of spots available for in-person participation, those interested in attending the Symposium in-person are invited to apply. Those attending virtually are invited to complete the below form to receive updates and information regarding the online event.
