Three years after their initial appointment, the Province has reappointed 10 members to the anti-racism data committee.

The committee advises the Province on matters relating to the collection and use of demographic data for the purposes of identifying and eliminating systemic racism and advancing racial equity in government programs and services.

The Province says committee members bring a range of experiences and knowledge to their roles, and are from a wide cross-section of racialized and Indigenous communities and geographic regions of B.C.

The 10 members will continue their service on the committee and were approved for staggered terms ranging from one to three years.

Since 2022, the Province has released research findings examining barriers in the public service, schools and health care.

The latest release in May highlighted gaps in representation across government boards and the public service, as well as wage inequities between racialized and non-racialized workers in B.C.’s public and private sectors.

The Province says it has also worked with the committee and in consultation with Indigenous people to set research priorities for 2025-27.

Themes include health and wellness, education, housing, justice system, racial equity within the BC Public Service, and community safety, sports and economic inclusion.
