 Hi, I'm Premier Christy Clark. British Columbia's multicultural society is our competitive advantage. Our diversity is the key to creating strong and vibrant communities. It's an important bridge across the Pacific and vital to securing BC's economic future. Soon, I'll be leaving for my fourth jobs and trade mission to Asia, where I'll visit China, Japan, and Korea. Our business and family ties with the world's fastest-growing economies help us open new markets for our products overseas. That's why trade missions are so important. They strengthen our relationships and our economy. As Premier of Canada's most ethnically diverse province, I'm proud to join with British Columbians in celebration of multiculturalism week, because our diversity makes us so much stronger.
