March 2012: Schedule of events is released. It includes something for everyone and is still open to more.

Download the Schedule of Events in colour or black & white

See detailed schedule here

March 21 is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It commemorates 1960’s massacre of peaceful protestors against South Africa’s apartheid laws. In 1966 proclamation of this day, the United Nations calls on the international community to increase its efforts to eliminate all forms of racism.
Much has changed over the last 50 years and many countries have eliminated racist policies but there is still more to be done. In Canada, the Indian Act and the legacy of residential schools are those that need to be understood and dealt with.
Skeena Diversity is pleased to host a very special evening on Wed, March 21 at 7 pm. We will be screening Finding Our Way – film by Leonie Sandercock (2010), 90 min. at the Skeena Diversity Centre

This documentary film with and about the Burns Lake band and the Cheslatta Carrier Nation explores the history of colonization and relationships of First Nations and non-First Nations people. Is there a way forward? Is reconciliation possible?
The film will be followed by a discussion. We are very pleased to welcome a special guest, Rob Charlie, Burns Lake Band featured in the film. Rob will share his experience and journey.

TERRACE MEDLEY NIGHT MARKET WRAPS UP FOR THE SEASON
September 2011: It was another spectacular night on Wednesday, September 28th for the last Night Market event of the summer season. Second time in a row, we were rewarded with a nice weather - the sun peaked throught the clouds to watch the dancers and musicians. The start was delayed as the organizers franticaly tried to contact the Kitsumkalum's Xbishuunt Dancer's who were to open the evening on Tsimshian territory. It turned out that many of the dancers were away due to family emergency. It highlighted the strong cultural tradition of family committment. Sharon Bryant opened with a Welcome song. She was followed by the Gitlaxdax Terrace Nisga'a Dancers and Metis fiddler Rene Therrien with a number of young dancers. The evening was very peaceful, calm and beautiful with no wind and perfect ending to an incredible series.

The Terrace Medley Night Market exceeded any of our expectations. The idea for the event came from participants of the Leading Communities BC leadership program hosted and sponsored by Skeena Diversity Society earlier this year. The team of 5 put their leadership skills to test. It was quite a test – dealing with what seemed like the worst summer ever, scheduling and contacting performers, learning about power circuits in the park, vendor preferences and much more. But it all came together very well.

It is confirmed: residents of Terrace are most amazing people! They came out despite the elements, cultural groups practiced hard for weeks to make sure their performances were top notch, audiences of all ages participated while vendors shared delicious foods and sold their creations. Thanks go out to our neighbouring communities of Kitimat and Prince Rupert who drove in to perform and watch. We are very appreciative of the financial support from the Terrace and District Arts Council and a generous discount we received from Sight & Sound for sound equipment rental.

TERRACE JOINING CULTURE DAYS
September 2011: Terrace is going to be part of the Pan-Canadian celebration of art, culture and creativity – Culture Days which takes place in many communities in Canada from coast to coast to coast between September 30th and October 2nd.
In Terrace, Skeena Diversity has mobilized the community to create events and become part of the celebration: See the list of activities.
We are pleased to present a diversity of events which are all free, participatory and open to all ages.
So what have we come up with? Read more

TERRACE MEDLEY NIGHT MARKET
June 2011: The weather which was very miserable that evening seemed to be testing the strength and dedication of the Night Market planning team as well as vendors, performers and audience. We can confirm that Terrace has the most amazing people who don't get easily chased away by bad weather. The evening opened with music by the amazing new band King Crow and the Ladies from Hell. They were followed by the Fil-Can Association performing everything from contemporary hip hop number to traditional Filipino dances.

The idea for this project came from participants of the Leading Communities BC Leadership Program sponsored by Skeena Diversity Society. Participants learned and explored different aspects of leadership from personal to community to collaborative and finally transformational leadership. The Terrace Medley Night Market has been selected as one of two community class projects where participants have opportunities to put the skills they've learned to the test and to expand the skills they are working on.

The next Night Market Medley will be held Wed. July 27, 2011 starting at 6pm at George Little Park (rain or shine ;)) featuring the PUNJABI Community.

If you are interested in being involved or performing please contacting the Skeena Diversity Centre.

DIVERSITY HEALTH FAIR PRESENTS HEALTH CHOICES TO COMMUNITY download a slideshow of photos from the Diversity Health Fair
June 2011: Skeena Diversity Society hosted its first Diversity Health Fair on June 18 at the Skeena Mall. Over 30 exhibitors presented their services. The Fair had a lot to offer for the whole family as well as variety of interests or concerns. Visitors to the Fair were able to get a blood pressure check or vision screening by Northern Health. We created a special location for massage and acupuncture demonstration; mental health and service organizations were also present to connect with visitors. Three chefs prepared healthy ethnic dishes and served samples from cuisines of India, Mexico and Japan.
Children's activities included face painting, health games, origami, art, a bouncing castle and gymnastics exercise demonstrations. The Community Room was transformed to a fitness demonstration area which included cultural dance groups and interactive fitness demonstrations (Dancing, Drumming, Martial Arts & Gymnastics) Instructors encouraged the public to join in on the fun in the following areas; Yoga, Tai Chi, Belly Dancing, Zumba, Taekwon-Do & Gitlaxdax Nisga'a Dancing.

Diversity Health Fair was made possible thanks to funding from AMSSA. Organization & planning was done by Skeena Diversity Society in Terrace. We would like to thank to the event sponsors: Aqua Clear, Creative Zone, Dynamic Health, Fiori Design, Gemma's, Kids Quest, Praxx Air, Skeena Mall, Save-on Foods. This event wouldn't have been possible without the amazing generosity, dedication and hard work of the event sponsors, volunteers and steering committee members. THANK YOU!

TERRACE’S 1ST GRAFFITI FEST
Oct 5, 2010: We are working on a brief story of the event. In the meantime, you can view photos of the event on Facebook.
Email us your thoughts of the event or ideas for more...

Sep 20, 2010: Terrace & District Arts Council and Skeena Diversity Society are very pleased to have received permission from the City of Terrace to use the exterior of the former Co-op building and parking lot for Terrace’s first ever Graffiti Fest to be held from Friday, Sep 24th till Sunday, Sep 26th.

The community and especially graffiti artists are invited to come out and express themselves. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own paint supplies and safety equipment – limited amount of spray paint, masks and gloves will be available. We do encourage collaborative pieces and those artists will have a first choice in selecting a space but as you can imagine the building is large enough and I’m sure we will have space for everyone. For insurance purposes, every artist will be expected to sign a memorandum of understanding. And of course, no profanity, racial slurs or nudity will be tolerated and will be promptly painted over.

If you are not a graffiti artist, you will be able to practice and learn on-site. Who knows, you may discover a hidden talent!

We are very thankful to the neighbouring businesses who have endorsed the idea of the graffiti fest as well as some of them donating power for the event, tables, chairs and tents (George Little House). We would also like to express our gratitude to businesses that are providing supplies and discounts: Terrace Interior, West Point Rentals, Astral Media and number of others.

We would like to encourage everyone to come and paint or to stop by to support the event and Terrace’s youth. Skeena Diversity Society is sponsoring a free BBQ on Saturday evening from 6 till 8 pm.

March 21: International Day to Eliminate Racism
March 21 has been declared a day to raise awareness about racism and discrimination around the world. It serves as a commemoration of victims of a peaceful demonstration against apartheid on March 21, 1960 in Sharpeville, South Africa.

The world is different since that time 50 years ago today but we know that racism, prejudice, ignorance and intolerance are still alive preventing us from living in a truly equal respectful society. There are many changes that the systems we live in need to undertake but what can we do as individuals? Let's look within and ask "What can I do to be more respectful? What are my fears and prejudices?".

I find that the best way to overcome these is to meet people that come from different cultures. Those that have had different experiences and speak to those with different points of view. Diversity is a struggle but it makes us and our communities so much richer, creative, colourful and more prosperous. Let's make our vision and thoughts world-embracing!
