Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
study
Guilford.
Thank
you.
Honorable
speaker,
20
years
ago,
two
recent
immigrants
to
this
country
from
Uganda
reflected
on
their
early
experiences
in
their
new
Homeland
and
vowed
to
build
a
program
that
would
help
to
bridge
many
of
the
gaps
that
they
had
experienced
when
they
first
arrived
here
with
their
four
Sons.
They
are
Amos
Canberra,
who
was
first
elected
in
the
1980
Ugandan
general
elections
as
the
youngest
ever
Member
of
Parliament
in
the
National
Assembly
of
Uganda
and
Edith
camber,
his
loving
wife
and
mother
of
their
sons
together.
A
While
he
continued
his
work
with
Canada
Post
and
she
looked
after
their
active
voice,
they
began
umoja,
which
translates
as
Unity
to
strive
for
for
and
maintain
unity
in
the
family,
community,
nation
and
race.
On
Saturday
night,
the
member
from
Surrey
Wally
and
I
gathered
with
hundreds
of
others
to
celebrate
the
20th
year
of
emojis
existence
in
Surrey.
It
is
a
charitable
and
newcomer
settlement
organization
formed
to
work
with
recent
immigrants
and
refugees
of
all
cultural
backgrounds
living
in
Surrey,
they're,
culturally
attuned.
A
Trauma-Informed
programs
are
particularly
essential
for
those
at
risk
of
socioeconomic
marginalization
based
on
language
and
skills,
gaps,
race,
culture
and
religious
background
trauma
or
perceived
status.
The
society
supports
integration
into
Canadian
Society,
while
recognizing
each
person's
dignity
and
unique
worth.
In
so
doing,
they
aspire
to
bridge
the
privilege
Gap
and
to
work
toward
an
authentically,
thriving
Canadian
society
in
which
no
one
is
Left
Behind.
A
Over
their
20-year
existence,
they've
supported
the
successful
mainstreaming
of
over
4
000
newcomers
and
families
to
Canada.
It
is
truly
a
labor
of
love
for
Amos
and
Edith
can
bear,
and
their
staff
and
I
know
that
all
members
of
this
house
join
me
in
celebrating
this
amazing
Surrey
organization.
Thank
you,
foreign.
