Race Relations Month
Since 1990, Saskatoon City Council has proclaimed March Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Month — an opportunity to heighten awareness about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
2025 Race Relations Month Calendar
Race Relations Month includes the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (March 21), which the City recognizes annually with the presentation of the Living in Harmony Awards. Several activities are planned for the month of March in recognition of cultural diversity and race relations.
