Local Immigration Partnership hosting workshop Racism is Bad for our Health

Sarnia, ON – The Sarnia-Lambton Local Immigration Partnership (SL-LIP) and the Sarnia-Lambton Antiracism, Diversity & Inclusion Committee (SLARDIC) are hosting the workshop Racism is Bad for our Health: From Conversation to Action on Discrimination on September 12, 2023 at the Lambton College Events Centre.

The goal of the free workshop is to collect public input into the development of a community anti-racism, anti-discrimination, and anti-oppression strategy. Participants will be invited to share ideas for solutions and actions to address racism and discrimination in Lambton County and hear presentations from local leaders and organizations.

“We find ourselves on the cusp of meaningful change in Lambton. The community is ready to do the work and should be recognized as champions of this change,” said Stephanie Ferrera, SL-LIP Project Coordinator.

Two sessions will be held on Tuesday, September 12. An afternoon session from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m. and an evening session from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Participants can select the session that best fits their schedule.
