Happy Canada Day from all of us at DIVERSEcity! The beauty of Canada isn’t found in a single thread, but in the many. Each person, culture, story and journey adds to the rich tapestry we call home. Woven together, we can create something stronger — an inclusive society made vibrant by our differences and resilient through our shared connections. Today, we recognize the country’s history, respect the land, honour the First Peoples, and celebrate the diverse people and communities who are shaping Canada's future. #CanadaDay #DIVERSEcity #ForPeopleForCommunities #SurreyBC #delta #Canada ...
