BLACK IN BC NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY
This survey seeks to better gauge and understand the needs of Blacks and persons of African descent in British Columbia on issues relating to Anti-Black racism and a meaningful implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent (IDPAD).
The survey is funded by the BC Provincial Government and primarily aimed at Blacks and Peoples of African descent in BC. The survey is part of the Black in BC Community Convener project. The African Arts and Cultural Community Contributor Services (AACCCS) is the convener for this project.
