About
Who We Are
Inclusivision Canada believes that schools are the hope and heart of communities throughout Canada. Racism is a prevalent challenge in Canada, having an initial impact in schools. We believe Equity, Inclusive, Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Education will make a significant contribution to helping Canada realize the Inclusivision - an authentically inclusive country for all Canadians. Many stories becoming one is critical in this movement of the new millennium.
Therefore, Inclusivision Canada endeavours to provide official certification to support a high-standard to measure and monitor progress in the education system and provide supports for educators in schools in one-stop national community for Educators in schools, to share, learn and celebrate. Educators will have a special leading role in Equity, Inclusion, Anti-Racist and Anti-Oppression Education but we believe in and invite ALL Canadians to help educators in their various workspaces. Resources can be accessed by Teachers, Parents, Community Members and Leaders. Together #shifthappens and will make all the difference!
Furthermore, Inclusivision Canada endeavors to support students in Canada's Black Indigenous and Persons Of Colour (BIPOC) community by providing funding for post-secondary scholarships to attend Teachers’ Education Programs in Canada.
In summation, The Inclusivision Canada is an organization with more than 80% of all dollars raised going back to the cause. Our generous team of volunteers and business partners come together because we believe that everyone has the right to thrive in an authentically Inclusive nation. Moving beyond performative to transformative actions of Equity, Inclusion, Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Education together, with our Inclusivision Canada partners, donors, community members, and volunteers we will strive to raise as much money as possible to support the Black, Indigenous and Students of Colour in our Canadian schools.

Our Story, Our Journey
Our journey began in the classroom. For many students we have served, we have been the only black teacher and administrator they have ever had. We used this challenge as an opportunity to raise awareness in our integrated promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion as we facilitated the curriculum and participated in our school community.
Knowing schools are the heart and hope of our Canadian communities we identify that they are a necessary starting point for change. Teachers will play a special role in Equity, Inclusion, Anti-Racism, Anti-Oppression education that is, culturally responsive which is essential in realizing authentic inclusion in Canada. However, we are ALL called to be educators in our various workspaces.
We believe education and practice regarding inclusivity is a personal and collective journey we can and must take for Canada to truly be the “True North, Strong and Free” for ALL. We venture to make our Inclusivision for a more equitable and inclusive Canada a reality, one educator at a time.
