In the wake of acts of racism and hate, 七星彩开奖 recommits to well-being for all
Communities around the world have been mobilizing against racism in recent days. This mobilization is a reaction to the most recent murder of another unarmed Black person.
On May 25, George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis by a police officer after saying he could not breathe and pleading for his life. Even though we are living through a pandemic, many people decided that the risk of contracting COVID-19 was less important than showing solidarity with Black, Indigenous, people of colour and other marginalized groups.

Developing informed, engaged and responsible citizens
Beyond the environment of learning at 七星彩开奖, we are committed to helping develop informed, engaged and responsible citizens. Every year we graduate students who are working on pressing societal and ecological challenges.
With pride, we leave the last word to one of our own graduates. Alexandrine Royer graduated from Social Science (North-South Studies Profile) in 2015. Today, Alexandrine is administrative co-ordinator for the Foundation for Genocide Education, based in Montreal.
Alexandrine shared her thoughts in an opinion piece published by The Montreal Gazette on June 3:
鈥�Racism and injustice have plagued our societies for too long. We have allowed them to fester, to spread and to contaminate our institutions. We cannot let this go untreated. Preventative anti-racism education should be our first response.聽鈥�
鈥淭o the victims and their families, we see and we hear your pain and suffering, and we promise to do better. We promise to educate our children and youth about racism in the past, and racism and equal treatment in the present.
鈥淲e promise that we will teach them to care, to stand up, to speak out, and to demand universal justice. But we demand that governments accompany us in this commitment to providing anti-racism education to future generations.鈥�
