PHOTO The Urban Agenda: Vancouver
|
|
The CRRF held two very successful events in B.C. in January, attended by more than 200 people, and featuring a stellar panel of community and faith leaders, academics, and diversity champions.
The Urban Agenda: Vancouver Roundtable was held on January 19 at UBC Robson Square, and the Living Together Richmond symposium was held on January 21 at the John M.S. Lecky UBC Boathouse. Many thanks to all our participants and regional partners who made these events happen!
The Symposium was held the same day as Lincoln Alexander Day – a time to honour and celebrate a remarkable Canadian public servant who also served as the CRRF’s inaugural Chair.

"Raising my children in a multi-cultural city like Richmond, BC, I never really had to explain racism to them, until the day they clearly witnessed that First Nations people are not treated the same as other Canadians"
