Being Canadian –
Canadian symbols such as multiculturalism, diversity, equal opportunity and democracy are the building blocks of creating a peaceful nation and harmonized societies. We love Canada and proud to be Canadian. We should always strive to be the best citizens. Canada has provided us with opportunities to attain a high quality of life through hard work and integrity.
What Peace and Unity means –
Peace and unity go side by side. Peace brings prosperity, happiness and togetherness. Peaceful communities are united communities and unity is the key to success of any community. When we cooperate with each other we achieve more and prosper more. Working together is a form of unity to fulfill common goals for the betterment of self and community.
Based on these principles, we decided to form a group named – “Canadian Peace and Unity Foundation” to achieve some of these characteristics.
The foundation celebrates Canada day every year On this occasion and gives Cash awards for Hight school students as an appreciation of their outstanding achievement in their career. Foundation organized seminars, events and programs to engage our youth and seniors by providing them a platform to discuss generational issues and promote ideas to overcome these issues. These event offers a crucial platform for demanding change through peaceful interfaith dialogue, and positive exchange of ideas and interaction towards fostering mutual understanding between people from every culture, faith and background in a bid for greater community cohesion in a multicultural society. The purpose has been to build cohesive families where everyone is engaged and contribute towards their wellbeing by respecting each other’s requirements and sensitivities. Stronger and united families produce stronger and united communities.
The foundation has 18 years of community work experience and so far organized numbers of seminars, several community functions as well as a fund raising drive to help victims of the earthquake, some are outlined below –
