MCOD president calls on community to champion multiculturalism

Omar WisdomMulticultural Council of Oshawa Durham president Omar Wisdom challenges community groups and its leaders to join the organization's commitment to champion multiculturalism and diversity in Durham Region.

Mr. Wisdom says Canadians are lucky in having "a wonderful opportunity to share various cultures without having to jump on a plane."

The MCOD president adds that his multicultural Canada does not regard its citizens or residents in such a way that implies one race or culture is superior to another or imposing its views or way of life upon others.

"My multicultural Canada will move away from tolerating each other because tolerance can be short-lived," Mr. Wisdom says. "We will be accepting, loving and justified."

He adds, "The sooner we accomplish this goal, the sooner we can focus on the reason why immigration was implemented ... to make our Canada the greatest country on Earth." 

The Multicultural Council of Oshawa/Durham is a community-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the celebration and heightening awareness of multiculturalism throughout Durham Region via our role as an active agent of change and as a vital resource point for all members of the Durham community.

We welcome you and hope that you will join us in our quest.
