Indemnity Information:

Accidents arising from recreation activities occasionally happen. By attending the event, you agree to indemnify and save harmless Moms Against Racism, including their officials, officers, employees and agents from any claim, lawsuit, liability, debt, demand, loss or judgment (including costs, defence expense and interest) whatsoever and howsoever arising either directly or indirectly as a result of participating in this event.

Plain language: Participate at your own risk.

Every child deserves to play freely, to laugh loudly, and to explore the wonders of the world in a joyfully inquisitive way. Every child deserves the opportunity to try something new, to connect with nature, and to do so without the judgmental and scrutinizing gaze of the people around them.

Unfortunately, for Black, Indigenous and Children of Colour, they often don’t get these opportunities.

These children often face barriers when it comes to… being a kid. Barriers to participating in activities like finances, travel, time, lack of knowledge, stigma, fear for safety, and even just feeling like they’re going to stick out or be the only racialized kid there.

• Fun and welcoming
• Open to children who identify heritage as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or a Child of Colour) and their immediate families/caregivers. White presenting kids with racial heritage and white family members/caregivers are warmly welcomed.
• Intended to build community. Come ready to meet and talk with new people.

We acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.

We are so grateful to be running another year of the Be a Kid program with thanks to the Province of BC. This program supports our members, the public, and their racialized kids in creating community. Be a Kid helps to create opportunities for Black, Indigenous and Children of Colour to connect with each other, in a psychologically and culturally safer environment, while participating in an activity they may otherwise not.
