CYF Diversity Committee
With hate on the rise and division increasing, it can be too easy to feel hopeless and desperate when facing our current political and social realities.
Diversity is vibrant and beautiful in our francophone communities and now more than ever it is important to get together to talk about it, rant, brainstorm and empower each other to find a spark of hope in what can seem like darkness.
