March 21st International Dinner and Program

About March 21st

In 1966, the United Nations declared that March 21st would be the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, in commemoration of the Sharpeville Massacre. Since 1989, the Canadian government has been supporting anti-racism campaigns to mark March 21. This year, with funds from Canadian Heritage, the Central Alberta Diversity Project will again be funding special projects to celebrate the value of diversity and oppose prejudice.

Each year CADA holds a dinner and program to mark this important day to remind everyone of this important event. On or about March 21st, CADA has an event with food, entertainment and important information about discrimination and what we all can do to make a positive difference in our community. Please mark this date on your calendar and then check our website or email us at cadassoc@telus.net or call us at 403-340-2143 to be a part of this important movement.

We work to eliminate racism and all other forms of unjust discrimination, whether based on age, gender, ethnicity, national origin, language, religion, sexual orientation, income level, social status, disability or any other factor. We began in April 1998 by holding a series of public consultations to share perceptions and experiences related to race relations issues. In these sessions, participants identified community responses to changing demographics and provided direction to initiatives that could be taken to enhance race relations in Central Alberta. The series of consultations charted a course for the project and determined the key messages to be communicated to the public. Another consultation session, held in October 1999, provided additional direction and shaped the initiatives currently being undertaken by the project. What We Do: CADA is a community action against all forms of discrimination. CADA continues to work on societal change and the inclusion of marginalized individuals in the workforce and the community. Her Excellency the Governor General of Canada, Adrienne Clarkson, honoured CADA by calling Mayor Morris Flewwelling of Red Deer and commenting about our work at promoting diversity in Red Deer and its surrounding area. __________________________________________ Celebrating Us!
