City Of Vancouver Anti-Racism Framework and Action Plan 2026-2027
The Anti-Racism Framework and Action Plan (ARAP) for the City of Vancouver aims to address and prevent systemic racism within its services and policies, specifically targeting Indigenous, Black, and diverse racialized communities. The framework is built upon four core goals: ensuring safety and respect, providing information and connection, fostering engagement and representation, and maintaining transparency and accountability. The action plan, spanning 2026-2027, implements these goals through five key areas: expanding knowledge, developing tools and processes, building capacity, collaborating externally, and measuring progress. The overarching vision is to ensure that racial identity does not adversely affect access to and experience with City services.
