Racism in Canada refers to the discrimination and prejudice faced by individuals based on their race or ethnicity. Despite being known for its multiculturalism, many communities experience systemic racism, which can manifest in various forms, including unequal treatment in employment, education, and the justice system. Indigenous peoples, Black Canadians, and other racialized groups often report higher levels of discrimination. Efforts to combat racism in Canada include government initiatives, community programs, and public awareness campaigns. Organizations like the Canadian Race Relations Foundation work to promote understanding and equality, while events such as Black History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day celebrate diversity and encourage dialogue about racial issues.
