October 13 - 15, 2010
Best Western Chocolate Lake Hotel
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
The Multicultural Association of Nova Scotia (MANS) is hosting Creating Bridges:
Multiculturalism and Diversity in the 21st Century (Créer des Ponts: Les Cultures
Multiples et La Diversité au 21e Siècle) in Halifax, Nova Scotia at the
Best Western Chocolate Lake Hotel from October 13 - 15, 2010.
Creating Bridges addresses the themes of multiculturalism and diversity within a
range of communities and against the backdrop of the 21st century. How can we
create the bridges that close the distance between us? What tools do we need,
and how can we ensure that our journey is a safe one?

Dr. Leslie Oliver, President of the Black Cultural Society of Nova Scotia;
Honourable Percy Paris, Minister, Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage
