About the Event
FBEC hosted its inaugural national Symposium on January 23, 2019, at the Institute on Governance (IOG) in Ottawa, to address anti-Black racism in the Federal Public Service. It brought together Black employees and human resources practitioners to develop solutions to persistent issues faced by Black employees within the Federal Public Service. Symposium attendees, who numbered over 100, discussed and proposed solutions to issues of harassment and discrimination, representation and advancement, self-care and well-being, disaggregated employment equity data, and Black women.
