You’re invited! Living Together: Richmond
On Thursday, January 21, 2016, join the Canadian Race Relations Foundation and Richmond community partners in an exploration of what it means to be Canadian in 2016 – and beyond!
Living Together is an invitation to everyone-individuals, community and faith leaders, academics and diversity champions – to explore Canadian values and identity, and contribute a vision for Richmond – and Canada. The symposium is an opportunity for people from diverse communities to get to know more about each other. It is a time to listen, share and reflect- and to work together to create a vision for an inclusive, harmonious community.
The agenda is highly interactive and focuses on key questions. We will explore important issues, and work together to envision a future that reflects our diverse ethno-cultural communities.
Register now. There is no cost for registration, however, space is limited.
