The Government of Canada is supporting the Coalition of Manitoba Cultural Communities for Families as it creates a network that will connect cultural communities and their allies across Canada.
Today, Ben Carr, Member of Parliament (Winnipeg South Centre), announced $328,985 in support for a project titled, CollaborationNet: Seeking Peace and Safety in Community by Enhancing and Weaving Social Justice Networks and Partnerships across Manitoba and Canada. He made the announcement on behalf of the Honourable Kamal Khera, Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities.
CollaborationNet will connect cultural communities and allies from urban, rural and northern communities across Canada. It will facilitate dialogue and collaboration between cultural groups and produce a hub where knowledge can be easily shared. It will also help the Coalition of Manitoba Cultural Communities for Families and its partners advance their shared work in social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. By working together, all groups will be able to strengthen their efforts combatting racism, hatred and discrimination.
The federal funding is being provided through the Organizational Capacity Building component of Canadian Heritage's Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program.
