Submit your local activity for BC Multiculturalism Week

Let’s celebrate BC Multiculturalism Week in Campbell River and the Comox Valley!

We are celebrating BC Multiculturalism Week from November 18 to 27, 2022.

We invite you to join us and other local organizations in celebrating cultural diversity in our communities.

REGISTER YOUR EVENT WITH US IN CAMPBELL RIVER OR THE COMOX VALLEY

We will promote all local Multiculturalism Week events on our website so that the community can find them all in one place!

Need ideas?

  • Dedicate one of your walls to display art or photography by an immigrant or refugee resident
  • Host a book reading, poetry night, story-telling event, or music act that illustrates diverse cultures in our community
  • If you are a social service organization or cultural association, host an open house, tour, or get-together
  • Make a map that shows where your organization’s staff were born or where their family is from (and what languages they speak!)
  • Organize a food tasting, cooking class, or restaurant tour to celebrate diverse cuisine
  • Host a documentary screening followed by a panel discussion on topics that impact marginalized communities
  • Offer a guided tour of a historical area
  • Organize a try-it day for a sport, activity, or language lesson

 

Your activity must:

  • Take place during Nov. 18 – 27, 2022
  • Be inclusive of immigrants and refugees
  • Welcome newcomers, celebrate diversity, and/or encourage social interaction between new and long-time residents

 

Why participate?

  • Demonstrate that your organization or business is multiculturally sensitive
  • Help us show that the Comox Valley and Campbell River are welcoming to newcomers
  • Reach new audiences
  • Educate your staff and clients around multiculturalism, diversity, and inclusion
