History/Background Information
Harmony Movement was formed in 1994 as a not-for-profit organization to combat inter-racial intolerance and to confront the “us versus them” attitude which was prevalent in Canadian society at that time.
Our mandate is to promote diversity and to combat all forms of discrimination that act as social and cultural barriers to individuals’ full participation in society. We empower youth to become leaders for social change by implementing diversity education in schools and communities.
