Since 2006, the Global Voices Choir has been sharing the vision of the Edmonton

Mennonite Centre for Newcomers through music. The choir is both multicultural and multi-dimensional, as it is comprised of students and teachers, staff and volunteers, seniors and children, those who sing with trained voices, and those who sing with full hearts. The vision of the choir is to support literacy through folk songs from around the world, to celebrate immigrant stories and languages through song, and to engage Canadians and newcomers together in activity that is dignified, authentic, and equal. 9 www.iweek.ualberta.ca Monday municipalities and communities. students, universities, on Canadian have (CETA) would Union Trade Agreement Canada-European the that impacts and implications the explore Come (U ofAChapter) CouncilofCanadians bythe Sponsored Trew Stuart EFFECTSAND IMPLICATIONS (CETA): UNION AGREEMENT TRADE THE CANADA-EUROPEAN 134 Centre TELUS PM 3:00 PM–4:00 since in arriving Canada. have they opportunities the and refugees, as toCanada tocome through gone have they struggles the Iran, in rights human basic oftheir violation the refugees: Baha’i ofIranian experiences the Take into alook Baha’i Studies for Association Campus Knight, Mitra REFUGEES OF IRANIAN BAHA’I THE EXPERIENCES 217/219 Centre TELUS PM–3:00 PM 2:00 done. be can what and justice on environmental discussion the Join refugees. ofclimate realities the acknowledge tofully fail laws and policies immigration However,world. current developing and developed the both for concern increasing an are impacts climate 3FGVHFFNPWFNFOUBOEEJTQMBDFNFOUCZ Centre Law Environmental Unger, The Jason EFFECT AND OF CAUSE ENVIRONMENT: ASTORY REFUGEES AND THE 237A Centre Law PM–3:00 PM 2:00 January documentary, documentary, revealing the In toinformation? access equal and fair have everyone Does Loyola Rod and Keto Diana FIGHTERS FREEDOMINTELLECTUAL THE KNOWLEDGE: FILM: ARMED WITH Education Centre South 129 PM 3:00 PM–4:00 you fit in! in! you fit where see Come Plan.

Canada is international contacts. no exception. In an October 2010 editorial, the Globe and Mail called for the word “multiculturalism” to be struck from the national vocabulary.

We will examine the veracity of this claim and offer analysis of how multiculturalism is really understood by most Canadians.
