Strathcona County Diversity Committee

We remember those whose lives were lost in all wars and on all sides of those wars. We remember also those whose lives were damaged and altered by wars.

A small group has started planning a virtual interfaith event for early February 2021. If you are interested in collaborating on this event please message us with your e-mail address and we will send you a copy of the plan (thus far) and the link for the next planning meeting: November 12 @ 7:00 pm via Zoom. Right now we are looking for contact information for all of the faith/spiritual practices communities who have members living in Strathcona County. If you would like to ...be the contact for your community or can direct us to a contact person that would be very helpful. We are also looking for someone, or a small team, who have skills in editing and compiling short videos that will be submitted. This person/these people need to be available to do most of their work in January 2021. If you want to know more please be in touch. Curiosity and questions will not be taken as a commitment to helping. We are looking forward to hearing from you,

What does being anti-racist in a digital world look like? Jesse Lipscombe and Chelsea Gouchey (who both live in the Edmonton region) share some ideas to help each of us as we consider what we are going to say and share on social media.

Here are some ideas on how to acknowledge others while maintaining good social distance. Most of these ideas also work well when you are masked. Remember a big smile, even under your mask, lights up your eyes. Use these ideas to connect with your friends, neighbours, those serving you in stores, those you meet on the street while keeping yourself and others safe
