Basketball Manitoba is proud to partner with Anti-Racism in Sport to co-host the “Introduction to Anti-Racism” webinar on Tuesday, June 28 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. We welcome and encourage everyone in the basketball community to join the conversation!
Winnipeg is a diverse and multicultural city, where 40% of the population identify as First Nations, MΓ©tis Nation, Inuit, Black, or Racialized. While that diversity and multiculturalism has built a strong and resilient city, many Winnipeggers continue to face racism and discrimination in all aspects of their lives, including their participation in sport.
The Anti-Racism in Sport Campaign seeks to address, disrupt and eliminate racism and discrimination in sport experienced by First Nations, MΓ©tis Nation, Inuit, Black, Racialized, and religious minority communities in Winnipeg.
