History of WPC

​An annual staple in the United States for nearly 20 years, WPC has become synonymous with tackling widespread issues of inequality. While a White Privilege Symposium was held at Brock University, in St. Catharines, Ontario in 2016, this marks the first time WPC has crossed the border for a Canadian version of the conference. This first global edition will take place in Â鶹ÊÓƵ and will continue to explore how everyone can feel empowered to work for equity and justice.
