Eggen consults community groups about racism in Alberta

EDMONTON – Education Minister David Eggen said Monday he will continue to meet with community groups across the province to gather ideas on how to combat racism and build a more inclusive Alberta.

Eggen has already met with dozens of groups in Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary, following Premier Notley’s request for him to gather input in July.

He plans to meet with groups in Fort McMurray, Grand Prairie, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge, but the dates have not been announced.

The minster also said he is looking to hear from individuals with ideas about how the government can help Albertans deal with racism through a public survey.
