The social construction of difference involves a society that targets individuals based on race, sex, mental health or anything that can be discriminated against. Treating people like outcasts, because of conditions that cannot be changed without the society accepting and understanding those individuals. Based on the U.N. day of Social Justice (February 20th). The current event hopes to bring an understanding of issues related to discrimination, prejudice, and conflict so that we can work together to understand and resolve the issues we face.
Featured speakers:
- Alison Gutrath, Abbotsford Community Services
- Megan Capp, Abbotsford Community Services
- Allen Doerksen, Priest at two Anglican Churches in the lower mainland
There will be time-period after each of the speakers to discuss and ask questions.
The event is open to the public and is encouraged to be promoted.
Special Thanks to Karen Thind (Ethno-Cultural Commissioner for SUS) for her help in organizing speakers.
We have seating for up to 80 people at the event with more that can be requested.
