BC Multiculturalism Week highlights how unique perspectives and traditions strengthen our communities and foster inclusivity. This year, viaSport features an inspiring article about a GymBC coach, Salvador Garcia Cano Olvera showcasing the positive impact of diversity in sport.  

Let’s continue working toward a society free from racism, where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive.
