*Beyond Colonial Holidays: Exploring Community-Responsive Alternatives*

Wednesday, June 14

12-1 PM (PST)

Inspired by the #CancelCanadaDay discussions of the past few years, join a
panel of arts, culture, and heritage professionals as we reflect on forms
of community engagement that draw the focus away from celebrations of
colonial holidays.



Speakers Sherri Kajiwara, Dr. Satwinder Bains, and Dr. Tzu-I Chung will
share about the histories and events that we can dedicate our time to
instead, drawing on examples from the Nikkei National Museum and Culture
Centre, University of Fraser Valley’s South Asian Studies Institute (SASI),
and the Royal BC Museum.
