 Tonight is a Multicultural Award ceremony. We ask the general public to nominate individuals, youth, organisation, non-profit organisation, business, and also government ministry to honour their contribution to multiculturalism. Cultural diversity is an integral threat of the social fabric of our society. It creates strong and vibrant BC communities that in turn strengthen our public social and economic future. Each of these evenings' nominees is an inspiration and each one of you is a true multicultural champion. Your hard work, your vision, and your creativity is infectious. You are getting people excited about cultural diversity and you are forging a path for others to follow in your footsteps. We are living in a very diverse society and the richness of our society is really playing in the differences that we each hold. And a multiculturalism champion for me is protecting and promoting the differences that our society holds and respecting those differences very dearly. First of all, I'd like to start by thanking Minister Watt and the BC government for this honour. It's very, we feel very special to be among the many nominees tonight. And I believe that multicultural champion is someone who, against all odds, no matter what pressures they're facing, embraces all cultures and differences and comes together as one. FAPC is really unique in the sense that we do receive a lot of immigrants coming in and there's a strong diverse population that resides here. I think multiculturalism is important in finding ways for these communities to really understand their various stories of where they're coming from and the stories that exist in BC itself. I am humbled by the fact that we won this award. I am proud to be part of this organization because Rowan and I are part of the Diversity and Inclusion team and this is sort of fueling more of my passion to get more involved and learn more and be a little bit more and support our staff who are the front lines with our tenants and our clients.
