The UBC-Community Refugee & Migration Working Group announces the launch of the Storytelling for Change Filmmaking Campaign.
 
 All youth creators across Canada are encouraged to share stories on belonging, diversity, social justice and more by making a short film this summer, to be entered to win prizes. 
 
As part of the Storytelling for Change Campaign, experts from the filmmaking community are offering two virtual mentorship webinars on “Storytelling & Production” on June 18 and on “Direction & Editing” on June 23.

Organized by the TCLIP, the Diversity in Leadership Project aims to increase diverse representation in voluntary leadership positions in the Tri-Cities.

The project’s objectives are two-fold:
to offer support to organizations/agencies/stakeholder groups to support board diversity & inclusion; and to offer support to individuals from under-represented communities to participate and engage in leadership positions.

If you could help identify any organizations/agencies/stakeholder groups in the community and individuals from under-represented communities who could participate in this project, kindly email Abigail Cameron at abigail.cameron@success.bc.ca

The City of Port Coquitlam will have its first ever anti-racism and discrimination group, which will meet regularly to develop a community-driven process and forum for feedback, action and discussion on matters of multiculturalism, systemic discrimination, diversity, equity and inclusion in Port Coquitlam.

The roundtable will have 12 to 15 volunteer advisors from the community representing a broad range of groups such as, but not limited to diverse ethnic or cultural origins, Indigenous people, new immigrants, LGBTQ2S+, people with disabilities, diverse gender and ages and people living in poverty.

Community members who want to help counter racism and discrimination are invited to apply until noon July 6. Apply now.
