Multiculturalism Day – Share Your Story
On June 27, Canadian Multiculturalism Day honours the many cultural communities that help build a strong and vibrant Canadian society.
Take this opportunity to celebrate the cultural diversity that enriches us collectively and reaffirm your commitment to equity, inclusion, and mutual respect. We will share your stories and photos to highlight the strong multicultural RRC Polytech community and learn more about one another.
Why multiculturalism? What is culture?
Multiculturalism is the key to achieving a high degree of cultural diversity. Diversity occurs when people of different races, nationalities, religions, ethnicities, and philosophies come together to form a community. A truly diverse society recognizes and values the cultural differences in its people. In multicultural communities, people retain, pass down, celebrate, and share their unique cultural ways of life, languages, art, traditions, and behaviours.
Culture refers to the beliefs, values, norms and practices learnt and shared generation by generation. This may be related to ethnicity, nationality, or other groups that are part of your identity.
