Spring Check-ins

RNS is committed to the continued support of Charter signatories. RNS staff conduct periodic check-ins with organizations. The most recent check-ins occurred throughout the spring of 2024, with 15 of the 33 signatories. Each organization answered eight questions regarding their work on anti-racism and the Charter. The data gathered from these check-ins helps RNS understand how organizations use the Charter, determine what resources or support is needed from RNS, support RNS’ advocacy efforts, and support information sharing amongst current and potential signatories.

The Anti-Racism Charter in Recreation was launched in October 2022 as part of the RNS Annual Conference. Find the Anti-Racism Charter and associated documents and resources below.

Thank you to all who contributed to the Charter and the launch Summit itself, including graphic recorder James Neish who captured everything so well:

Anti Racism Charter in Recreation

Project Overview

There has been an escalation of racist and discriminatory behaviour in the recreation sector locally and nationally. The impacts of these incidents on the psychological health and well-being of those affected are serious and are made worse by the lack of support available. In response to this, Recreation Nova Scotia (RNS), with funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage, worked with Wisdom2Action (W2A) to develop the Anti-Racism Charter. The Charter will provide unifying guidelines for the recreation sector to address and combat systemic racism within the sector.
