A UNBC student has been named to the provincial Multicultural Advisory Council.
Hira Rashid says, while the duties of the new Council have yet to be clearly spelled out, they will build on the previous government’s commitment to celebrating diversity.
“There’s a group of us who will be advising on different issues around racism cross-cultuiral understanding andf issues within different communities,” says Rashid. “The biggest difference between the previous government and this government is that the previous government focused a lot on celebrating diversity, which is great. But what we want to do is tackle the core issues.”
Rashid will be joining seven other new appointees.
