Saskatchewan Multicultural Week kicks off with forum, new PSAs

Despite its relatively lower level of diversity compared to neighbouring provinces Alberta and Manitoba, clear focus on multiculturalism:

A forum on multiculturalism kicked off Saskatchewan Multicultural Week on Saturday at the First Nations University of Canada.

“We need to understand everybody’s different cultures and embrace them as opposed to just seeing differences,” said Mark Docherty, minister of Parks, Culture and Sport.

The free event, titled ‘Remember our Past, Envision our Future’, focused on topics such as how to grow multiculturalism in Saskatchewan. The provincial government and the Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan MCoS partnered for the annual week to celebrate the 40-year anniversary of The Saskatchewan Multiculturalism Act.

Many in attendance at the forum weren’t born in the same country but could find unity in their experiences of living in Saskatchewan.
