Diversity and Inclusion

Overview

Program Description: The Diversity and Inclusion Program is designed to educate and promote the celebration and tolerance of all communities and cultures, especially those residing in Strathcona. A community that understands and knows each other, is a safer and more inclusive one. There is a culturally diverse population in Strathcona that sometimes struggles to communicate and relate to one another; programs that promote diversity and inclusion make for a more cohesive community that looks out for one another and reduces conflict.
