We're so thrilled to be working with Artist Jae Sterling on the #YouBelongInCHV Art Bench Program launching at The Crescent Moon Festival, Feb 12 - 14, 2021. The Crescent Moon Festival is a grassroots small-works art festival in Crescent Heights Village Calgary that pairs local artists with organizations that promote, support and celebrate diversity,  inclusion and equality. 

This year, they will light up 10 art benches throughout the BIA for socially-distanced, self-guided tours all weekend. This event will be marketed as part of the city-wide Chinook Blast Festival in February. 

DONATIONS during February 2021: Be sure to check out and support Jae's work. Any donations we get during the month of February will be given directly to Jae for his phenomenal work.

Two of our team members (Courtney Walcott and Iman Bukhari) recently had the opportunity to complete an online workshop in partnership with Alberta's Teacher's Association on how educators can talk to their students of race and racism in a classroom setting. The workshop discussed: 
  • Important terms to understand
  • Why talk about racism is important
  • Examples of everyday problematic things happening in schools
  • Solutions and Resources
  • Our K-12 Multicultural and Anti-Racism Resource Hub
  • Question and Answer period
We were thrilled to see many teachers take part in this opportunity. If you'd like to watch a recording of the workshop, it's available through our YouTube channel link below.
