Opening Reception: January 11, 6-8pm
With a goal of encouraging intercultural understanding and to build community connections. Voices of Vernon, supported by the B.C. Anti-Racism and Multiculturalism grant, will see local organizations work with School District 22 to hold these conversations and allow students and educators to identify and take action against discrimination and racism. A collaborative storyboard done in response to the stories told through the program will be on display in the Up-Front Gallery at the VPAG. This project was a partnership between the Vernon & District Immigrant & Community Services Society, SD #22, The Family Resource Center, The Vernon Library ORL Branch, and the VPAG.
