At DIVERSEcity, we’re fortunate to work alongside incredible people who not only support the community — but also inspire it through their hidden talents and passions.Kuntal stepped away from art for over a decade, uncertain if there was space for her creativity anymore.But through community connection and courage, she found her way back — and now, her journey has come full circle with a vibrant new mural at Newton Athletic Park, created in collaboration with artist Jag Nagra.What began as a quiet return to painting during the pandemic has grown into public art that celebrates identity, belonging, and resilience.She is also a filmmaker with Sher Vancouver.Read more about Kuntal’s inspiring story: www.dcrs.ca/how-one-employee-at-diversecity-found-her-artistic-voice-again/ #ForPeopleForCommunities #NewcomerVoices #CommunityArt #WomenOfColourInArt #DIVERSEcity #SurreyBC #Delta #SouthAsianArtists @serene_samsara @jagnagra @shervancouver ...

Physical activity plays a vital role in childhood development — helping kids build coordination, teamwork, leadership and a lifelong love for sport. ⚽⛹️‍♀️From soccer and dodgeball to hopscotch and everything in between, there was something for everyone at the School’s Out Summer Camp. New friendships formed on the field as campers worked together and showed great sportsmanship. We’re grateful for these meaningful collaborations and excited to keep helping kids learn, grow, and move — together. Thanks to our partnership with United Way BC, we were able to bring even more sports, play and connection to kids in Delta this summer. Want to see what makes School's Out Camp so special?
