FACL 2022 Diversity in the City Gala was a resounding success! Over 220 attendees mingled, reconnected, and listened to the stories of persons of colour from all walks of life. We were encouraged to see representation and allyship from national firms to solo practitioners, partners and associates.
Calgary mayor Jyoti Gondek and Kathy Le (CTV News) told their heartfelt stories about systemic discrimination and the need to unite for positive change and understanding. Local artists, Harvey Nichol and Ryle Ramirez, shared about their artistic expressions of the Canadian immigrant experience. And we celebrated Asian heritage with a traditional lion dance from Jing Wo Cultural Association and a Bollywood dance performance from Ghunagroo Beats. ( https://faclwestern.com/news )
