City Centre Combined 136 & 137Join Coquitlam Public Library in this 5-part speaker series with people from diverse backgrounds sharing their stories.
This series brings awareness of people who are from different cultural groups and how everyone's story is different. The speakers have experienced prejudice, social exclusion or stigma. The best way for Canadians to build a better future for all is to understand and appreciate everyone’s experiences.

There will be time for questions from the audience.
