Statement on Anti-Asian racism
31.03.2021
Anti-Asian hate crimes have been on the rise since the first outbreak of COVID-19. But this is not a new problem. Anti-Asian racism in Canada is written into our legislations, and our history books.
ICC community citizenship ceremonies are a celebration of Canada’s newest citizens and offer unique opportunities to reflect on what it means to be active, engaged citizens. We were thrilled to work with the University of Calgary to welcome 50 new Canadian citizens at our ceremony in Calgary on March 13, 2019.
Below are a few highlights from the ceremony.
