The Multicultural Association of Nova Scotia (MANS) is pleased to invite delegates to attend its fall 2010 conference: “Creating Bridges: Multiculturalism and Diversity in the 21st Century / Créer des ponts: les cultures multiples et la diversité au 21e siècle" will be taking place at the Best Western Chocolate Lake Hotel in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada from 13 – 15 October 2010.
 
Creating Bridges/Créer des ponts 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? Conference sessions include Multi-Faiths, Youth, Business, Health, Immigration and Community.
 
Events of note include a free welcome reception for delegates, and a unique event capturing multicultural seniors’ health experiences in artistic works created in real time by teams of youth and adult artists inspired by their stories (funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Seniors).
