Signing off for now
Our fall/winter season has now ended. WACANupdate is on hiatus. We will return with our bi-weekly publication beginning Wednesday, February 6.

In our forthcoming winter/spring season, look for infomation about the Fourth White Anti-racist Summit, about the White Privilege Conference, and the second year of our Hall of Remembrance and Commemoration.
