Intercultural Experience

Multicultural Dance

The City of Richmond's Intercultural Advisory Committee has adopted a vision that has been endorsed by Richmond City Council to be "the most welcoming, inclusive and harmonious community in Canada". The programs and services and spaces and places managed and coordinated by Parks and Recreation and Community Services provide many opportunities that contribute to achieving this vision. The principles of inclusion, cooperation, collaboration, dynamism, integration and equality are incorporated into planning, decision-making and service delivery.

We are striving to make access to all of the opportunities and facilities that we manage or coordinate, barrier free and reflective of the needs and interests of the whole community. We are working closely with all of our partners to make this vision a reality.

Are you involved in a community group or activity that promotes intercultural understanding and dialogue? Would you be interested in sharing the enjoyment of what you do with a larger or different audience? Whether you are involved in arts, drama, music or any cultural education activity particular to your community we would be interested in hearing from you. Diversity Services is always looking for opportunities to bring groups together to create mutual understanding and cooperative opportunities. Richmond is an excitingly diverse community and together we can strive to make it an even more inclusive place for all who live, work and visit here.

Easy Guide to Recreation
The City of Richmond, in partnership with Richmond School Board, has produced an "Easy Guide to Registration" for Parks, Recreation and Culture programs and services. This guide also contains contact details for the Richmond School Boards "Cultural Interpreter" team. Their services are available to assist only those who have children in the Richmond school system and one of their functions is to help get those children registered for recreation and culture activities. The "Easy Guide to Registration" is currently available in Chinese, English, Korean, Spanish and Tagalog.
