The City of Saskatoon recognizes that Saskatoon has always been a society composed of people from many different backgrounds and that this diversity will continue. The participation and contribution of all citizens in the development of our community is vital to meeting the challenges of the future.

Cultural Diversity and Race Relations

An external audit of the City of Saskatoon's "Race Relations Program" took place in May 2001 stating in part that "the City's Race Relations Program which includes activities carried out by both the Race Relations Committee, and Office, is at a strategic point in its evolution." The result of the audit lead to extensive consultation with the community of Saskatoon throughout 2002 to engage the public in a long-term "race relations" plan that would promote racial harmony and minimize racial tension. The community consultation ultimately culminated in the development of a Cultural Diversity & Race Relations Policy, effective February 9, 2004.

Mandate

The City of Saskatoon's Cultural Diversity & Race Relations Advisory Committee, and Office, develops their plans in relation to the guidance and direction of the Cultural Diversity & Race Relations Policy.
