Edmontonians are invited to apply for a volunteer position on Edmonton’s new Anti-Racism Advisory Committee.
Council recently approved the creation of the committee to support community-based anti-racism initiatives, conduct research and present reports on issues and concerns around racism in the community and increase public awareness of racism. The committee will have up to 13 members.
The Anti-Racism Advisory Committee is one of Edmonton’s 17 civic boards — many of which will recruit new members in January 2020.
Edmontonians with an interest in municipal government, increasing public awareness of racism and supporting anti-racism activities are encouraged to apply for a position on the new committee.
Being a member of a civic board provides an opportunity to work toward positive change, sharpen leadership and business skills and gain a broader understanding of municipal government processes.
The deadline to apply to be a volunteer member of the Anti-Racism Advisory Committee is December 13, 2019. All positions are filled using an application process managed by the Office of the City Clerk. Applicants need to provide a resume and letters of reference.
