#HARRC

[allthecanadianpolitics]

New data from a survey about the Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre (HARRC) shows 79 per cent of respondents have experienced or witnessed racism in the past year, most commonly in public places.

From July to September, 575 residents filled out an online survey the city posted about racism in its quest to find the right model for the fledgling centre. Nearly half of those respondents were members of a racialized group, including eight per cent who are Indigenous. Those who witnessed racism, the survey responses shows, are more likely to report it than people who experience it themselves. And nearly half had never heard of the centre.

These numbers should help persuade city council that racism is an issue, says Marlene Dei-Amoah, chair of the city's committee against racism.

"To me, that's actually kind of low," she said of the 79 per cent finding.

"These specific experiences will help council know this is happening. This is going on. This is a daily event."

Community will have input after all into setting up the anti-racism resource centre | CBC News

Hamilton city council has reached a “compromise” that will see it setting up the newly revamped anti-racism resource centre, but racialized community members will form a panel to guide it.

Councillors have overturned an earlier decision that would have seen little community involvement in the first year of the new Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre (HARRC). The city will oversee the centre…

Today I ran my first 7k. That's the longest race I've done so far! My official time was 52:22. I struggled a lot in the beginning because the sun was in my face (it started at 7pm YUCK!) and my calves were really bothering me. I still have a pain up through the insides of my calves and its been starting to really worry me. I've been taking pain killers for the last day and that seemed to help a bit. I'm going to be taking a few days off because I really can't afford really hurting myself only a month and a half away from my half-marathon. I ended up winning a raffle prize and I won 3rd place in my age group (20-24). But..I have to be honest...there were only 3 people in my group. Haha! Still, I'm so happy with myself. I wanted to walk the whole time from the pain and heat but I kept going! My beer glass says "Run to live lager!" and at the bottom it has a line and says "Finish". So cute!
