Next Thursday Sept 30^th the Urban Alliance on Race Relations (UARR) will acknowledge  the works of four community activists at the DYNASTY, 131 Bloor Street West, 2nd floor  in the Colonnade.

Hosted by former UARR award recipient Angela Robertson, this year’s recipients; Nigel Barriffe, Manavi Handa, Che Kothari and Farrah S. Khan will be on hand to celebrate the organization’s 35^th Anniversary with the acceptance of the Race Relations Award.

The alliance which sprung from the vision of Wilson Head and other founding members in 1975, has since worked tirelessly to address issues of injustice and racism in Toronto. Currently the UARR is concentrating its energy on media production training for young people, empowering youth to recognize and fight racism and gender based violence.

To support this milestone event and celebrate the outstanding achievements of these four community activists, tickets can be purchased by contacting Yumei Lin at [email protected].
