Best Practices is part of an exciting educational program sponsored by the CRRF to gather, document, and celebrate innovative approaches to promoting harmonious race relations. By Best Practice, the CRRF means a program, strategy or initiative.
Each Best Practice is then submitted for our Awards of Excellence, which pays tribute to public, private and voluntary organizations whose efforts represent best practices in building an awareness and understanding of Canadian values and identity that are reflective of Canadian diversity. The Awards event, and the positive attention leading up to it, put positive race relations in the spotlight by featuring the best practices of forward-thinking and innovative companies, organizations and groups.
"This year, 15 years since the inaugural presentation, 45 nominations were received from across the geographic and demographic breadth of Canada. The submissions were a source of delight and respect for us, not only because of the high calibre of the initiatives, but also because of the obvious dedication and commitment of so many individuals and diverse organizations. We are increasingly mindful of the exemplary work that is being done by all the organizations, as they strive towards the fulfillment of the Canadian values of respect for equality, diversity, inclusivity and good citizenship."
– Toni Silberman, Chair, 2014 Jury Panel
