Committee Members

The Anti-Racism Action Committee is made up of a diverse group of Calgarians with a variety of lived, academic and professional experiences. We received over 200 applications to join the committee and selected those who best met the criteria of:

• Lived experience of racism and/or professional, academic or cultural expertise in anti-racism related work
  
• Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain strong collaborative relationships
• Strong understanding of a range of human and civil rights issues and the historical origins of systemic racism
• An openness to supporting people and communities towards meaningful, positive change
• Preferably personal and/or professional community connections that can inform the committee’s work

An internal Anti-Racism Action Committee has also been established, representing all officer ranks and a variety of civilian expertise from across the Service. The internal committee  contributed to the development of the Anti-Racism Strategy.
