Canadian Race Relations Foundation issues call for papers for Directions journal
TORONTO, Dec. 21, 2016 /CNW/ - The Canadian Race Relations Foundations (CRRF) is issuing a call for papers for its academic journal Directions. The upcoming issue will build on key themes that emerged from the CRRF's 2016 National Conference, titled "Inclusive Canada: 2017 and Beyond."
The conference, held in October 2016, brought together participants from across Canada to discuss the challenges and promises that lie ahead, as we work towards confronting racism and racial discrimination, while realizing an inclusive Canadian society that is respectful of diversity.

- The importance of reconciliation
