March is designated Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Month.
History
In 1966, the United Nations declared March 21 as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in commemoration of the 1960 Sharpeville massacre in South Africa when peaceful demonstrators against apartheid were wounded and killed.
It is the official policy of the City of Saskatoon to facilitate the development of mutual awareness, understanding and appreciation among racial, religious and ethno-cultural groups and to cooperate with other groups and organizations towards this end. The City of Saskatoon is striving to provide significant recognition for this important issue by providing an expanded opportunity for public awareness and community participation. In 1990, City Council proclaimed March as Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Month in the City of Saskatoon.
