Anti-racism symposium
The Office of EDI and Anti-Racism and the TRU Faculty Association (TRUFA) invite you to join us this year for TRU's annual EDI conference on May 5th, 2026.
This year, the conference's focus on racism and anti-racism, hopes to create a space for speakers, facilitators, and attendees to name and confront racism in holistic and systemic ways. Throughout the day, participants will be asked to learn, share, and build through guided, trauma-informed conversations, activities, and an action-planning exercise.
We will look to initiatives such as the Scarborough Charter and the TRC Calls to Action, as guiding lights, as we discuss topics such as anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism and what is means to be an "anti-racist".
Please join us for a day filled with networking, connecting, learning, and listening, ending with some concrete action planning to take back to our institutions, departments, classrooms, and community spaces.
