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.

In 1991, a similar group was formed in Toronto and later, in Calgary. 1, record 7, English, - Racially%20Visible%20Action%20Committee
