Associate Minister of Immigration and Multiculturalism Muhammad Yaseen issued the following statement on International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination:

“Today, Alberta joins the world in recognizing the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. This year’s theme is Voices for Action Against Racism, and I encourage all Albertans to participate both by speaking up against acts of hatred and intolerance, and by encouraging and supporting others who have stories to tell, but have been reluctant to do so.

“In my role, I have the privilege of working with people from diverse racial groups, and hearing about their experiences, challenges and hopes. I am committed to addressing systemic racism and discrimination, and to working with partners across this province to build a more welcoming and inclusive society.

“Building a more accepting society involves everyone. All Albertans must speak out, and show that racism will not be tolerated in our province, and that all people are welcome here, no matter where they come from, what faith they practice, or which language they speak. Together, our actions can lead to a more ethnically diverse Alberta, where everyone can express who they are and live up to their full potential.”
