WCCRC are extremely excited to introduce our new short podcast series - released on the third Friday of each month and spotlighting some of our incredible staff and professional development facilitators.
Last week we learned about the family turned away from an unlicensed child care spot because the person offering care said “I won’t take Chinese in”. This statement is blatantly hurtful to the family, to the child, and ultimately to society as a whole. We are constantly disturbed that such hate and fear exists within us towards people who are different from ourselves. We ask, what can we do?
The Westcoast staff and board offer our hearts and thoughts to the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation and to all who have been impacted by residential schools.
