The Laurier Institution

  • Sir Wilfred Laurier"For here in Canada, I want the marble to remain the marble; the granite to remain the granite; the oak to remain the oak; and out of these elements, I would build a nation great among the nations of the world.".. Sir Wilfred Laurier
  • John DiefenbakerCanada is not "a melting pot in which the individuality of each element is destroyed in order to produce a new and totally different element. It is rather a garden into which have been transplanted the hardiest and brightest flowers from many lands, each retaining in its new environment the best of the qualities for which it was loved and prized in its native land." Prime minister, John Diefenbaker

Diversity 2010: Leveraging the 2010 Olympics and Paralympic Games to brand and make Greater Vancouver a truly multicultural city

The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games provide us with an opportunity to showcase Greater Vancouver to the world - diverse, inclusive, creative and one of the best places in the world to visit, live, work and invest. They also provide us with an opportunity to create legacies that will support the ongoing development of Greater Vancouver as one of the most truly multicultural communities in the world. The potential economic benefits are huge.
