North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA Bowinn Ma says multiculturalism grant funding will help local organizations fight systemic racism throughout North Vancouver. This year, priority was given to projects addressing anti-Indigenous, anti-Asian and anti-Black racism.
“North Vancouver is an incredible community, but racism and discrimination can happen here as well,” said Bowinn Ma, MLA for North Vancouver-Lonsdale. “The harm it causes is real and we each have a role to play in confronting it.
