Posted on November 17, 2022
The Government of Canada is launching the Changing Narratives Fund, a new $20 million investment to support initiatives that challenge harmful stereotypes and promote diversity and inclusion in Canadian society.
The fund will provide grants to organizations working to change the way that marginalized and underrepresented groups are portrayed in the media and in popular culture. This could include projects that create new media content, develop educational resources, or support research on media representation.
The Changing Narratives Fund is part of the government’s broader efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in Canada. The government has also invested in a number of other initiatives, such as the Inclusive Media Project and the Canadian Media Fund, which support the production of diverse and inclusive media content.
The Changing Narratives Fund is a welcome investment in the fight against harmful stereotypes. By supporting organizations that are working to change the way that marginalized and underrepresented groups are portrayed in the media, the government is helping to create a more inclusive and equitable society for all Canadians.
