CANSCAIP stands in solidarity with Black People, Indigenous People, and People of Colour who have been the targets of prejudice, injustice, and violence.

We endorse the statements made by The Writers’ Union of Canada, Association of Canadian Publishers, League of Canadian Poets, Ontario Library Association, Canadian Authors Association and other organizations in support of all who are speaking out, peacefully protesting, and taking action to bring an end to systemic racism. 

We welcome Canada's authors, illustrators and performers for young people, and support their creative work that reflects our diversity, celebrates our differences, and embraces our common humanity.
