Safe Harbour Workshop

A safe harbour workshop was held in Winnipeg last Friday at which facilitators were trained to deliver the workshop to agencies who would then be asked to be a safe harbour location. To become a safe harbour business, you have to have certain values. It has to be committed to equality for all, safety from racial violence and Respect for all.
Hopefully in the months to follow there might be more workshops available to sensitise people in Winnipeg to Safe Harbour principles.
The workshop was brought to Winnipeg by CMARD - a committee of Citizenship Equity Committee. CMARD stands for Canadian Municipality Against Racial Discrimination. The workshop was offered free of charge and they plan on holding more workshops for individuals and organizations. 
This blog will feature more information about this really neat program in days to come.
