Respect.
It is a simple, quiet word. It is also a profound concept, a necessary pillar of a healthy community. We need more of it in the world - respect for others, respect for the Earth, respect for ourselves. In our province of BC, one of the most culturally diverse places in the world, the only way of coexisting is with profound respect for each others’ differences.
My family always taught me that each of us has a responsibility to stand up for our beliefs. I think most people believe in respect. But we need to do more than just believe in it, we need to stand up for it. Especially for the children of BC’s diversity, youth growing up a multicultural reality.
Safe Harbour is a simple and profound idea. This quiet concept gives businesses, institutions and individuals the chance to stand up for respect, and be advocates for peace and justice in our communities. It’s a strong, peaceful way of standing up for diversity, a feature of our country that can make us all stronger.
