Racialised groups still underrepresented in BC public service: report – Human Resources Director
03 Jun. 2025
Racism remains a significant issue within the British Columbia Public Service, according to a new report.
“With the release of updated research priorities, we are steering the B.C. government to take a deeper dive into health, education and justice, yet we also expect these will trigger an all-of-government approach, as we know inequities remain in many other areas,” says June Francis, chair of the Anti-Racism Data Committee.
“We trust these data and the research priorities will catalyze the B.C. government to take urgent and intentional actions to address the inequities that are being made transparent, and to focus more research in priority areas to deliver real and lasting change for the many people in British Columbia who face racism and discrimination each and every day. This new release of research findings increases the Province’s understanding of what Indigenous and racialized people have been saying for many years – government programs are not serving people equitably.”
