Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
study,
green
Timbers-
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
I,
remember
rising
in
this
chamber
three
years
ago
and
speaking
about
how
I
had
witnessed
The
increased
enthusiasm
around
Diwali
celebrations
in
our
province
and
these
past
few
weeks,
I
heard
friends
and
acquaintances
of
of
different
Fates
and
walks
of
life
talk
about
their
participation
in
Truth
and
Reconciliation
day
and
the
many
ways
they
celebrated
Diwali
and
in
the
same
breath
many
of
them
shared
their
plans
for
Eid,
Christmas
and
other
holidays.
It
is
heartwarming
to
see
people
feel
connected
to
their
homelands.
A
It
is
a
privilege
to
witness
British
Columbians
coming
together
to
learn
about
and
partake
in
these
cultural
events.
It
is
a
testament
to
our
Province
and
our
people,
who,
more
than
ever,
make
a
choice
to
understand
more
about
their
colleagues
and
neighbors
and
to
participate
in
their
celebrations
and
I
acknowledge
that
we
have
much
more
to
do
to
build
an
inclusive,
British
Columbia
I'm
excited
about
our
government's
declaration
to
anti-race
dedication
to
anti-racism.
The
anti-racism
data
act
gives
me
so
much
hope
for
the
future
and
the
province.
A
We
want
to
build
where
everyone
feels
welcome
and
has
access
to
government
services
equitably,
Mr,
Speaker,
I
hope.
Everyone
will
join
me
in
acknowledging
the
progress
that
we
have
made
in
embracing
our
diversity
and
all
our
cultures
and
let's
commit
to
uphold
this
Pro
this
progress
and
strive
to
make
further
advances.
Thank
you.
