Letter from Locals 556 & 557 Concerns on Slow Progress to Date
To: George Brown College Board of Governors
Cc: BSSN, GBC SA, Local 557, Local 556
As we all know, the unprecedented events of 2020 turbocharged and refocused the conversation on racial equity and anti-racism, and we were relieved when the George Brown College (GBC) administration announced its Plan to eliminate racism at George Brown College last July; including the framework for a comprehensive Anti-Racism Strategy.

However, 10 months later a number of issues have been observed that seem to give strength to the voices expressing fear that the GBC administration’s commitment may not be quite as strong as broadcasted, and that it may not result in the substantive change that the administration promised.
