Skeena Stories 150

Skeena Diversity Society provides training and educational workshops and resources in order to help eliminate racism:

Is a training workshop that provides businesses, agencies, and institutions with an opportunity to take a leadership role in creating an environment where all members of their community feel welcomed and safe. Safe Harbour locations serve as sanctuaries for people who experience discrimination or harassment and briefly need a safe place to go. Each Safe Harbour location announces to the community that it understands and welcomes diversity.

Safe Harbour Program is funded and supported by AMSSA

BC-wide program that engages youth in creating welcoming environments for diversity in their schools and communities.

This Handbook offers information and tools about racism, how to respond to it in your workplace. It provides information about Restorative Justice and offers other tools such as dialogue and consultation.

Funding for this project was provided by the Settlement and Multiculturalism Branch, Ministry of Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Multiculturalism.

Skeena Diversity Society organizes events that promote understanding of multiculturalism and diversity in the community and encourages celebrations of our uniqueness while building a vibrant inclusive community.

Learning through tasting, this event which was created by Skeena Diversity, was held in Terrace during Riverboat Days Festival in 2007. Participants got a chance to sample ethnic food from participating restaurants around town – from popular dishes to experimental; this was a well-received event that we hope to offer again.

A dialogue is an excellent tool for any gathering. It allows participants to share stories, listen to each other and often come up with new creative ideas. Key factor of a successful dialogue is the creation of a safe and inclusive environment.

Skeena Diversity Society held a Dialogue to Develop Comunity Potential in Feb 2008.

Mentoring, creating new friendships and youth leadership, Skeena Diversity Society is committed to offering youth forums, workshops and other opportunities to share ideas, take a stand against bullying, racism, and celebrate differences while making new friends.

Youth Voices 2008 began as a Grade 7 Forum that was held in Feb 2008. Students from Terrace/Thornhill schools came together for a day full of activities and dialogue.

Funding for this project was provided by the Settlement and Multiculturalism Branch, Ministry of Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Multiculturalism.
