Past and Present: A Conversation about Race in BC

Community Conversation

Join Coquitlam Public Library for a 5-part series about Race In BC. Each session will focus on different cultural groups. You can participate either in person or via Zoom.

The last session in our speaker series will be a Community Conversation. We will use this as a launching point for future initiatives that address race and social equity. These initiatives could be either community led and/or library led.

There will be time for questions from the audience.

When registering for this event, please specify if you will be joining us in person or via Zoom.

• The Library will share an invitation to the Zoom meeting via email 24 hours in advance of the session.
• Please contact the Library if you have not received an email.​
