“International Day for Tolerance recognizes the progress we have made and raise awareness of the challenges we still face.

“Today, we come together with people around the world to recognize the need to grow understanding between people and cultures. Alberta is growing more diverse every day. It is this diversity that makes us strong.

 “Our government is committed to preserving and recognizing diverse communities. By creating relationships and effective partnerships, we can build a foundation for all Albertans to work together. Together, we can build a province where everyone can succeed and contribute to our province’s future.”
