Celebrating Differences is a collaborated project with Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Awards team at Archway Community Services and CIVL.
Since 2003, the Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Awards has nominated individuals who work towards building an inclusive community, providing their clients/customers with accessible environments, and having reflective work-forces for all every year.
For the 2025 awards, this year, CIVL volunteers interviewed around half of all nominees, highlighting each individual’s unique story, shaped by their background and experiences.
