Multiculturalism

Last updated on July 30, 2021

As the most ethnically diverse province in Canada, British Columbia welcomes more than 40,000 new immigrants every year. A rich multicultural society helps nurture inclusiveness, understanding and mutual respect. It is up to all of us to ensure that our multicultural society is supported today and for future generations.

One of B.C.’s greatest strengths is the diversity of the people who call this province home. Cultural diversity and increased participation and engagement by all cultures is vitally important to create a strong and vibrant social and economic future for British Columbia.

Based on a series of interviews with 50 people from all regions of the province, BC People combines video, audio and photographic recordings in a documentary format that raises awareness and understanding of multiculturalism.
