4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Coquitlam,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker,
last
month,
I
attended
a
book
launch
for
a
book
called
Mina's
lunch.
It's
a
story
about
a
little
girl
from
a
different
culture
who
brings
an
unfamiliar
food
to
lunch
at
school.
This
book
came
to
fruition
with
the
help
of
the
multiculturalism
Grant
from
the
province
of
British
Columbia,
and
it
supported
the
great
work
of
the
Asian
impact
Society,
a
group
of
volunteers
that
formed
during
covid
to
work,
to
eliminate
Asian
discrimination
and
to
create
a
space
for
healing
and
building
inclusive
communities
through
stories
and
art.
A

They
hope
to
get
copies
of
the
book
to
all
elementary
schools
in
BC
and
are
working
towards
another
book
next
year,
but
in
the
meantime,
they're
taking
on
other
projects.
They're
seeking
artists,
submissions
for
an
art
exhibition
called
your
art,
your
Reflections
multiculturalism,
diversity
and
anti-racism.
A
The
goal
of
the
exhibition
is
to
educate
the
public
on
why
multiculturalism
and
diversity
are
important
and
why
there
is
no
place
in
our
community
for
racism,
and
you
can
submit
your
art
it's
open
to
three
age
categories:
12
and
under
13
to
18
and
19.
Plus.
The
submission
deadline
is
June
1st
and
the
exhibition
will
take
place
in
class
day's
art
in
Coquitlam,
and
there
are
many
more
great
projects
on
the
way.
