The Mosaic Institute is proud to announce the release of its report, “Dialogue on Race Relations,” which includes the six recommendations we heard during community consultation on improving race relations in Ontario. This report is relevant for policymakers, decisionmakers, and anyone interested in improving their anti-racism practice. 

The report is available here. 

Akaash Maharaj, Mosaic’s CEO, states, “Racial and ethnic plurality are at the heart of what it means to be Canadian. We are unquestionably one of the most diverse countries in history. Whether we are an inclusive country is the question of our time. Arguably, our national mission is to build a country where every person enjoys an equal share of human dignity, where we recognize that we are stronger together not in spite of our differences, but precisely because of those differences. But there is a world of difference between a national aspiration and a national mythology. This report, compiled by the Mosaic Institute in consultation with 11 community members, is meant to provide a clear-eyed assessment of the perceptions and realties of race relations in the province of Ontario.” 

Through this project, the Mosaic Institute sought to connect with diverse community groups to hear their individual recommendations on how to improve race relations in Ontario. Their findings, captured in this report, offer concrete, actionable steps for a variety of decisionmakers in public, private, and civil society.
