The Racially Visible Action Committee (RVAC) is made up of visible minority Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) members who have come together to focus on the elimination of racism and to ensure a system free from discrimination as well as one that is committed to fairness and mutual respect. The RVAC began with an idea in November, 1989 in the National Capital Region and became a formal organization by February, 1990, conducting special events to raise awareness about racism. In 1991, a similar group was formed in Toronto and later, in Calgary. 1, record 1, English, - Racially%20Visible%20Action%20Committee

Le Comité d'action des membres raciaux visibles (CAMRV) est composé de membres de l'Alliance de la Fonction publique du Canada (AFPC) qui font partie des minorités visibles et qui se sont regroupés pour se concentrer sur l'élimination du racisme et pour assurer la mise en place d'un système exempt de discrimination qui tend énergiquement vers la justice et le respect mutuel. L'idée de constituer un tel comité a germé en novembre 1989 dans la région de la capitale nationale. Elle a donné lieu à la création, en février 1990, d'un organisme officiel chargé d'organiser des activités spéciales pour sensibiliser les gens au racisme. En 1991, un groupe semblable a été mis sur pied à Toronto et plus tard à Calgary. 1, record 1, French, - Comit%C3%A9%20d%27action%20des%20membres%20raciaux%20visibles
