But is it a good job? Understanding employment precarity in BC (CCPA)

Survey reveals a polarized labour market in which precarious work is far more pervasive than many assume and includes much more than “gig work.” It also shows that the burden of precarious work falls more heavily on racialized and immigrant communities, Indigenous peoples, women and lower-income groups.

This report shows that publicly funded schools in Ontario have made significant progress toward Indigenous education over the past decade but still have a long way to go to fulfill the education-related Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
