Where We Started

PRUDE began with a simple promise — Pride of Race, Unity, Dignity through Education. For more than four decades, this seal carried that promise into classrooms, workplaces, and community halls across the province.

Take Action

Systemic Racism often manifests in subtle, localized interactions that are frequently normalized or minimized. Maintaining silence or passive observation reinforces structural harm and perpetuates institutional bias. Fostering equity requires active anti-racist engagement, collective accountability, and interrupting implicit and explicit harm to break cycles of systemic exclusion.
