This is an initiative by the Immigration Partnership Winnipeg (IPW), a local immigration partnership hosted by the Social Planning Council of Winnipeg.
The Anti-Racism in Sport Campaign seeks to increase, promote, and engage in discussions on anti-racism in sport about the presence of all levels of racism in sport in Winnipeg and its impact on people’s lives, and raise awareness, address, and eliminate racism and discrimination experienced by First Nations, Metis, Inuit, Black, Racialized, and Religious Minority communities in sport in Winnipeg.
This campaign seeks to help people identify and disrupt all forms of racism through multiple activities that include research, school presentations, stakeholder training, a public awareness campaign, and an Anti-Racism in Sport Accord.
On December 7, 2021, the campaign released a video featuring a variety of Winnipeg athletes and sport stakeholders sharing their experiences with racism and their recommendations for how to take anti-racism actions in sport.
On December 15, 2021, the report “Exploring Experiences of Racism and Anti-Racism in Sport in Winnipeg” is officially launched.
