As a sample of just one of the many challenges we currently face in our racial justice change-making work going forward - see - How RBC is navigating
Trump’s anti-DEI crusade - Committing to inclusion, but less mention of

leadership in Canada on the racial equity front - for both Indigenous
Peoples and peoples of colour - what can we do together to best ensure consistent
conviction and ongoing commitment ?
