We need your input! Add your voice to the City of Calgary's Anti-Racism Action Strategy. So far over 1,000 people have attended events or completed the online survey. Your voice is important. When we share together, we are stronger, we understand the challenge better, and the actions we create are better. If you have experienced racism, it is likely others have too. Fill in the survey where you can also share your own experiences, stories, and ideas for change. It only takes 10 minutes. Every story, experience, and idea matters.
From November 14 to 19, nearly 5,000 students and educators from around Alberta virtually attended the fall session of the 37th Annual Holocaust Education Symposium, in partnership with Mount Royal University (MRU) and Calgary Public Library. For the first time ever, schools were given the option of attending a fall session of the Symposium. During this time, students were introduced to the Holocaust and the events leading up to it by watching a presentation by MRU Historian Scott Murray and the documentary, The Path to Nazi Genocide. At the end of the week, students joined Holocaust Survivor, Fanny Wedro, for a moving presentation and live Q & A. The next Holocaust Education Symposium will occur in May 2022. To learn more, go online or contact Federation's Holocaust and Human Rights: Remembrance and Education Co-Chairs, Marnie Bondar and Dahlia Libin.
Building an inclusive community is our priority. Contact us and we will make every effort to meet your needs.
