June 27 is recognized as Multicultural Day in Canada. But that is not all. In 2011, we will be celebrating forty years of multiculturalism in Canada. Alot has happened in forty years.
On June 27, Multicultural Day, I will be sharing some insights with Ontario government employees at the Ministry of Economic Trade and Development (EDT) regarding the essence of the 1971 Multicultural Policy; why, as a nation, we needed to move from biculturalism to multiculturalism; the significant milestones to show for the relative success of multiculturalism, and what we can expect in the next forty years.
July 1st is around the corner. On that festive day of celebrations, most of us will raise a glass to this fabulous country of ours, and most of us will also raise a glass to how multiculturalism defines us a nation. Right on.
