We're committed to honouring the incredible strength and richness that comes from embracing our cultural differences and learning about the experiences of others. It is an opportunity for us to reflect on the values that unite us and to celebrate the diverse voices that enrich our community. This includes educating staff and volunteers on how to accommodate clients and families during religious holidays, as well as raising awareness around events of cultural significance.
