Resources for Municipalities and Villages

• Equity and Anti-Racism Plans Guidance for Municipalities and Villages
• Equity and Anti-Racism Self Assessment Tool
• Equity and Anti-Racism Primer
• Engagement Questions Resource
• Overview of requirements for municipal and village plans under the Dismantling Racism and Hate Act and the Accessibility Act
