Join Coquitlam Public Library in this speaker series with people from diverse backgrounds sharing their stories.
This series brings awareness of people who are from marginalized groups and how everyone's story is different. The speakers have experienced prejudice, social exclusion or stigma, and participants can ask them questions so as to learn about their story.
We want to share the realities of living as a marginalized member of the community, whether they be positive or negative. We expect participants to be awed at the resilience of the speakers and more empathetic of their experiences.
The best way for Canadians to build a better future for all is to understand and appreciate everyone’s past and present.
Registration is required for each session.
The series will focus on the following groups:
The series will be held in person at the City Centre Library and recorded by Tri-Cities Community Television.
Light refreshments will be served.
