From February 16 – March 3, the Inspiring Healthy Futures (#WeCANforKids) initiative will be holding eight focused planning sessions (called “Strategy Hives”) around the key themes. In each, we will be developing an agenda for what we can do right now as well as priorities for long term planning. Each Hive will build on the previous ones, leaving us with a robust, multi-faceted plan we can begin right away.
Each session will be a dynamic, interactive experience, focusing both on mobilizing communities to change policy and transform knowledge into action to support kids and youth through this crisis, and creating the new research, collaborations and structures that will set them up for a thriving future.
Strategy Hive #5 Inspiring Healthy Futures: Racial and structural equity for all
The past year taught us once again that we have a long way to go as a nation to address the structures that create historical inequities for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour communities. In this Hive, we will explore how we mobilize around the social movement to action on rights, reconciliation and racial and structural equity for kids, youth and families across Canada. Together, we will identify the policy, knowledge and programs that could make the biggest difference to address structural and cultural inequities, now and for the future.
*The session will be conducted in English. Captioning will be available.
