There's a townhall meeting being held for north eastern communities hosted by the BC Human Rights Commissioner on Thursday from 2:30 to 4:30.
Karari Govender is the commissioner who is inviting anyone who wishes to participate in the Zoom meeting to tune in.
Shared information includes rights and responsibilities under the law.
"People in our northern communities face unique human rights challenges," Govender said. "It's important to me to connect directly with people from this region about the issues they are facing. We'll be sharing information about citizens' rights and responsibilities, as well as how they can seek support and justice when they have been discriminated against. As BC's Office of the Human Rights Commissioner is newly re-established, my office has identified five key priorities for our work and I want to hear whether these priorities resonate with what British Columbians living in the Northeast are experiencing in their everyday lives."
