George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.

Anti-Racism E-Course
We are pleased to provide our e-course, "Doing the Work: An Introduction to Anti-Racism." The course is uniquely George Brown — it is different than previous anti-racism learning opportunities as it was made by us for us.
Our entire community is encouraged to take the time to complete the course. The course is assigned to employees on Cornerstone and students on Brightspace. Through this course, we hope to make space for ongoing discussion, enable good faith questions, and engage in conversations about the content.
