Recommendation 2:
Recognize that while anti-Chinese and anti-Asian racism happens to anyone who is perceived to be from such a group, adopt a targeted approach based on intersectional equity, to ensure those who are most vulnerable are protected. Evidence from our data suggests specific attention needs to be paid to: seniors, those with limited English fluency, low income individuals, women, frontline workers, individuals without permanent immigration status, LGBTQ+ community members, those facing mental health issues and others.

Recommendation 6:
Recognize that competition is endemic within art industries and ensure that policies and structures are implemented that ensure management, senior curators, senior editors, and other high-level positions are held accountable for gatekeeping, racist and misogynist micro-aggressions, preferential treatment of white employees and men, and workplace bullying, gossip, and other toxic cultures of white supremacy and misogyny in the ways they work, and the cultures they thereby promote within their organizations.

Recommendation 3:
Put the onus of learning on the actors within cultural institutions. Avoid tasking the decolonizing of an entire organization on one employee especially within Canada’s long running heritage institutions, museums, publications, and galleries, which will have deeply entrenched cultures of white supremacy.
- Avoid the single Indigenous hire into segregated positions. Only diverse, block hires of Black and Indigenous peoples moving forward, coinciding with the realization that this might mean the radical restructuring of institutions (such as retirements and staff changes), and the implementations of Indigenous and Black peoples throughout organizations in self-determined ways.
- Respect the interests of diverse Black and Indigenous peoples, and their varying desires to participate in diversity and decolonizing measures (i.e. Indigenous specific departments and programs, or self-determined integration into wider institutional spaces away from a focus on Indigenous issues).
