Policed while Black: Recognizing, proving, and challenging racial profiling – Join us on November 12, 2026 at noon

Racial profiling is when the police pay more attention to a person based on their race or ethnic background than the person’s actions.

Racial profiling is not always obvious. It can happen when racial stereotypes lead to suspicion without good reasons.

In this webinar you will explore police encounters through an anti‑Black racism and human rights lens and learn:

• The difference between police behaviour that is:
  • unpleasant or unprofessional,
  • racial profiling, or
  • racial discrimination under Ontario’s Human Rights Code.
• How to prove racial profiling using facts, even when the police do not use racist language or deny that race influenced their actions.
• How to prove racial profiling using facts, even when the police do not use racist language or deny that race influenced their actions.
• How to document a police encounter and its impact.
