Huge thank you to the @ratheastlinkcc for hosting us as their ‘business of the game’ during the @mhlbearcats game last night. We had a great evening watching the game from the @coldstreamclear lounge.

We hope the crowd enjoyed watching a friendly and entertaining game of musical tubes played by some of our staff during the first intermission!

The International Day for the Elimination of Racia

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination recognizes that the injustices and prejudices fueled by racial discrimination take place every day.

While much progress has been made, Indigenous peoples, and racialized minority communities in Canada continue to face racism and discrimination every day. Today serves as a call to action for individuals and organizations to actively work to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination, injustice, systemic racism and hate. Collectively, we can ensure all people are respected and have equal access and opportunity to be safe and to succeed.
