FBEC-BC
Who we are?
The Federal Black Employee Caucus (FBEC) supports efforts at the national, regional, and local levels to address issues faced by Black federal public servants. FBEC was formed by Black federal employees following the inaugural National Black Canadians Summit held in Toronto in December 2017. With the goal of addressing employee concerns of anti-Black racism and lack of career progression FBEC has engaged with central agencies and departments; workplace unions; departmental diversity and inclusion networks; and the Parliamentary Black Caucus to support the Government of Canada’s commitment to the UN Decade for People of African Descent (UNDPAD).
The Federal Black Employee Caucus - British Columbia Chapter (FBEC-BC) was established in 2019. We are a regional chapter of FBEC. Our membership is comprised of federal public servants who are Black and/or of African descent and who work and/or live in British Columbia. We also welcome allies who support our objectives and goals.
What we do?
FBEC’s two objectives are to:
- Collect disaggregated employment equity data to better understand where Black federal public servants are employed and what’s happening to them.
- Support the mental health of Black employees by working together to reduce harassment and discrimination in the workplace.
