ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH: MONTH OF MAY
The month of May is celebrated as Asian Heritage Month with the Asian members of our society taking part. The cultural heritage that Asian members have given to us in past years, as well as their on-going place in the Kamloops community and Canada are featured.

MULTICULTURALISM DAY: JUNE 27
June 27 is Multiculturalism Day right across Canada, a day to acknowledge and celebrate the many cultures of our citizens. Interesting to note is that in Toronto, our largest city, one half the population was born in another country, and that 140 different languages and cultures exist there. That over 40% of the citizens of Vancouver speak Chinese as well as English tells a similar story about Canadians.

CANADA DAY PROJECTS: JULY 1
The Kamloops Multicultural Society organizes ethnic food booths and a stage presentation both of which take place in the City of Kamloops Riverside Park. This event occurs on July 1st. Monies raised over and above costs go to the food booth conveners, our member organizations.

EDUCATION
One goal of our organization is to promote cross-cultural contact between our members and between our society and the greater society we call Canada. That there are limits to such cross-cultural communications must be recognized if we are not to be frustrated by the persistence of prejudice. A short tutor program explains the difficulties.
