VICTORIA – British Columbians are  being encouraged to nominate multicultural champions whose exceptional work in their communities throughout the province promotes inclusion and cultural diversity.

British Columbians have until Sept. 26, 2016, to nominate individuals,

Multicultural Awards ceremony during British Columbia’s

Multiculturalism Week in November.

Five categories are open for nomination: individual, business,

organization, youth, and multicultural excellence in government. Award
