Inclusion and Anti-Racism

AHSNB is committed to fostering a society where everyone feels respected, valued, and included. Through education, dialogue, community partnerships, and public outreach, we work to address racism, counter hate, celebrate diversity, and strengthen intercultural understanding across New Brunswick.

AHSNB works with Asian Canadian organizations across Canada to address racism. We had participated in the study on the impact of racism on mental health, as well as in the development of an educational toolkit for community members, Block Online Hate Unlock Resilience. These projects were led by the Action Chinese Canadian Together (ACCT) Foundation based in Calgary.  

OUR ANTI-RACISM INITIATIVES

2023-2026

Film screening and panel discussion

The AHSNB, had hosted the film screening of an award-winning documentary What Flowers they Bloom followed by a panel discussion. Calvin Hwang, a Toronto-based filmmaker joined the panel. The documentary had been screened in Fredericton, Moncton and Saint John. It was also screened in Miramichi, Richibucto and Woodstock. At Miramichi’s event, a presentation on Block Online Hate, Unlock Resilience was also presented after the film screening. Both the filmmaker and the presenter on combatting online hate joined the panel discussion.

In 2025, the film screening of One of Ours was held in Fredericton. Jack Gin, the filmmaker was present at the event to take questions from the audience- on his journey to tell the story of Private Frederick Lee. Private Lee, a young soldier, born in Canada of Chinese heritage fought in France along with Canadian soldiers during World War 1. The story shows that Chinese Canadians were willing to fight and die for Canada even when Canada denied them full rights. It was the height of anti-Chinese sentiments.

Micro aggression workshops 

AHSNB delivered a series of microaggression workshops across New Brunswick, including sessions in Fredericton, Miramichi, and Richibucto. Youth-focused workshops were also presented at Riverview High School, Sunny Brae Middle School, and Maplehurst Middle School in the Moncton area.

Funded through Canadian Heritage's Community Support, Multiculturalism, and Anti- Racism Initiatives Program (CSMARI), the workshops helped participants recognize and understand the three forms of microaggressions: micro-insults, micro-invalidations, and micro-assaults.

Through interactive discussions and practical examples, participants explored the impact that everyday words and actions can have on individuals and communities. The workshops encouraged respectful communication, increased cultural awareness, and promoted more inclusive schools, workplaces, and communities throughout New Brunswick.
