Racism and equity has always been a pervasive issue in our society. The lives of marginalized peoples are continually at risk as especially the lives of women and people of colour. 

The Terrace Women’s Resource Centre Society values are connectedness, collaboration, equity, inclusivity, diversity, and creativity and our mission is to advocate equity, cultivate resources and offer community programming within inclusive spaces for all. 

Our vision is to see a collaborative and thriving community that values and empowers all persons.

We condemn any acts of racism, prejudice, or exclusivity of people of colour, members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and people of all genders. We promise to uphold our values and mission and to be inclusive of all people in our work. We will not only examine the structures within our organization and work on dismantling systemic racism within our institution, but we will consider ourselves as individuals and how we can be better allies, advocates, and learners within our community.

We are also committed to reconciliation and building programming that considers the community needs. The Society strives to build off the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and to apply them to all that we do. 

There is a diverse and rich Indigenous population in our area and we aim to serve these communities and honour them. 

It is not enough to be simply non-racist, but we must actively work to be anti-racist. Silence is violence and we have to speak out. We have to stand together with those who are murdered, marginalized, and repressed because of who they are. We are committed to equity, reconciliation, and anti-racism.
