Bill 16 – Racial Equity in the Education System Act

Original Bill here Bill 16 is a bit of a longer Bill, but that’s mostly just from the number of Acts that it modifies to do its job. Bill 16 sets out to reduce racism in the education system at all levels by requiring establishments and boards to set out an anti-racism plan that involves things such as anti-racism training for staff, board, and council members as well as the reporting of instances of racist language or activities.
