Congratulations to our colleagues at the Okanagan Regional Library!

"On behalf of the University, I condemn and denounce all incidents of anti-Black and anti-Asian racism and the continued racism and oppression that is directed ...at Indigenous communities. We must work together to dismantle the tools of oppression and white supremacy that remain prevalent and entrenched in our everyday systems. It is my hope that at least here at UBC, we can work to model a different kind of community one where we embrace difference and work to build each other up while enacting values of dignity, mutual respect, and justice."
