Nominations open for PEI Anti-Racism Recognition Award

Island residents are invited to nominate individuals, community groups and organizations that are making a difference in addressing racism and promoting racial equity across Prince Edward Island. 

The Anti-Racism Recognition Award recognizes leadership, advocacy and community efforts that help remove barriers, promote inclusion and create positive change for racialized and Indigenous communities.

Nominations are open until December 14, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. AST.

Individuals, community groups and organizations may be nominated for their contributions to advancing anti-racism, racial equity, inclusion or reconciliation in Prince Edward Island.

The award was established through the Anti-Racism Action Plan for Prince Edward Island 2023-2028 as part of the province’s commitment to recognizing efforts to address racism.

The inaugural award was presented in February 2026 to Tamara Steele, former executive director and board member of the Black Cultural Society of PEI, in recognition of her longstanding leadership, advocacy and contributions to racial justice on the Island.
