Kamloops groups get grants to help fight racism

The art gallery is receiving $5,000 for its learning and unlearning cultural practices project, which will bring together at the gallery neighbouring arts organizations to offer programs and an exhibition of art work from the Secwépemc Museum collection that reflects on language and cultural practices, to strengthen understanding. The immigrants society will use its $5,000 to produce a lived-experience portfolio of testimonials from BIPOC (black, Indigenous, people of colour) youth who are experiencing racism and discrimination to inform and motivate school district administrators and staff in making changes to school materials, curriculum and the learning environment. Meanwhile, the North Okanagan Social Planning Society, which serves Kamloops and other communities around the Thompson, Shuswap and Okanagan areas, is receiving $35,000.
