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,
organizations or businesses to receive a British Columbia Multicultural
Award. The awards will be presented at the British Columbia
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
recipients in the first four categories will receive $5,000 to be
donated to a non-profit organization of their choice to further support
the work of multiculturalism in the province. All award recipients will
take home a trophy.
