of trauma when i first arrived my credentials werent accepted i cant give canada a very good grade- in 1995 1 think its time people have to be honest canada is losing valuable resources because we cant open our hearts and minds to people who look or talk different im very happy were starting this action plan york region is doing a good job and i hope well be able to look back in the future and see that york has walked the walk not just talked the talk mr kumar a gormley retiree envisions the plan as a blueprint for tolerance and harmony what we need to focus on is action he said i hope this plan will have significant results there are glass walls and ceilings that exclude qualified individuals some strides have been made to break the barriers in private industry but its not the same in the public sectors i believe this plan will vig orously advocate for change by taking the message to board rooms in the region the coalition identified the issue of diversity as a pri ority for all human services in december 2003 regional human services planning director susan taylor said given the huge impact of rapid growth in the number of immigrants arriving in york region the coalition decided to focus its efforts on ethnocultural diversity in the region ms taylor said a task group was estab lished in 2004 a discussion paper was developed and distributed to more than 1000 regional service providers early this year 180 people representing 95 regional organizations con tributed to the development of the plan bigotry still exists in our communities and discrimi nation is something
