BURLINGTON, ON

 

Whenever the 29,000 homes that have to be built for the 120,000 new residents that are going to become part of the population comes up one word always stands out – diversity.

The ethic make up of the city will change – where they come from is unknown – all we know is that they are coming.

Rishia Burke – Community Development Halton

Community Development Halton, (CDH) a regional organization, much changed in the past year when Rishia Burke was brought in as the Executive Director, has been hosting ZOOM sessions on diversity.

CDH has decided that it is time for an in person event that will take place on March 8th in Milton.

One of the things CDH did under Burke’s leadership was to move away from what was really a Burlington centric operation.

The “home” address is now in Action where they share space with a community church.

The event is free – but they need registrations no later than March 14th –  no later than 4:00 pm.

    Diversity training is just creating division, the nanny state making you worry about offending someone therefore you ignore the people at all costs and thereby create division; unbelievable? I travelled extensively around Europe back in the day people were naturally curious about ‘foreigners, as we used to call each other, go in cold, a smile and a chat is the best way, you know like the normal friendly people you are.
