Talk Back

‘Too Asian’ Controversy Unwarranted Amarnath Amarasingam

must admit that I learned about the criticism of the “Too Asian” article in Maclean’s before I actually read it. I received emails asking me to write letters of protest to universities that were warning of an “Asian invasion,” help with community outreach, and was later invited to two “Youth Coalition Against Maclean’s ‘Too Asian’” meeting in Toronto and Waterloo. The Chinese Canadian National Council also condemned the article for fostering an “us versus them” mentality. In other words, when I finally sat down to read the article I was ready to read about how university administrators trapped under an avalanche of Asian enrollment were asking governments for help, or, at the very least, interviews with professors and students stating that white students, all things being equal, were being given preferential treatment over Asian students because the universities were already too Asian. I was primed to be enraged. After reading the article, I suspected

that many of the critics had not bothered to read past the title. The article, in essence, tackles two main issues. First, white students, who apparently want to party as much as they want to study don’t go to certain universities because they are too much of a “study school.” These white students, the article concludes through interviews, do not want to compete with studious Asian students, and want to party at university, so they choose other schools. This first argument, if one wants to venture into racial territory, is likely more, or just as, racist towards white students as Asian ones. The article states plainly that Asian students tend to be “high achievers” and states that white students care more about “social interaction” and “alcohol.” Second, the article points out that campus life is becoming too skewed in one direction -- the social or the academic. It is true that these camps are often highly racialized. But, pointing out that white students spend as much time partying as they do studying, while Asian students tend not to party with white students is, again, not

racist. Research does support the argument that minority students in general are more academically studious. As sociologists have pointed out for years, this does create a facile multiculturalism in which student of different backgrounds attend the same university, but rarely talk to one another. University administrators may be spending time, as the article suggests, worrying about how they can get everybody to “hang out” with each other, but that is their prerogative. Racism it is not. The Maclean’s article also notes that the impact of high admissions rates for Asian students has created much controversy in the United States. As the article points out, some studies support the idea that “Ivy League schools have taken the issue of Asian academic prowess so seriously that they’ve operated with secret quotas for decades to maintain their WASP credentials.” If similar secret quotas were being implemented in Canada, then that would indeed be despicable. At that point, we should be organizing Youth Coalition meetings, letter-writing campaigns, and

protests. An article in a major Canadian magazine simply pointing out certain trends in our society need not be accused of racism and fear mongering. I suspect that if the article was entitled “Asian students working hard at Canadian universities” instead of “‘Too Asian’?” it would not have incited much controversy. This is not to say that students from minority populations do not experience challenges, racism or otherwise, at universities. In fact, this is precisely my point. There are enough real issues that should be occupying the time of anti-racism campaigners. They do not need to invent new ones.

Amarnath Amarasingam is a doctoral candidate at Wilfrid Laurier University. This article first appeared in longer form on rabble.ca.

“Asian-ness” Shelly Chan,

he “Talk Back” campaign to Macleans’ “Too Asian” is gathering momentum. Since its inception, the movement has been engaging Canadians of all stripes. Here, I would like to share some thoughts on two different views about “Asian-ness” that have animated Asian Canadian responses to the Macleans article. Both focus on the alleged academic success of “Asians” so threatening to “whites.”

The first view affirms that “Asianness” is indeed the root of such astonishing success. A vague blanket term, “Confucianism” is used to render the phenomenon as culturally unique. But this view is flawed because it ignores the significance of the socioeconomic conditions of the Asian Canadian families under discussion. Federal immigration policies and university recruitment programs, which are the prime engineers of the changes in student demographics, are also excluded from examination. In a congratulatory “Asia Rising” narrative, a commentator on the Mandarin edition of OMNI news recently praised what he believed to be an expansion of “Asian influence” for raising the educational standards around the world. This stance not only adds fuel to the frightening tone of the “Too Asian” article inadvertently, but also overlooks the continuous underrepresentation of Asian faculty and Asian/Asian Canadian-related

subjects in the academia. The second view denies that the success is about being “Asian” at all. Members of this group embrace the classic “model minority” narrative, saying that their accomplishments are purely based on hard work and wise choices. In a defiant spirit, a young student writer declares, “the fact that I am Asian should be irrelevant.” Seeing themselves as free individuals, rather than as products of broader systems and ideologies as well, some members express a nativist position that marks themselves as the “real” Canadians in spite of being “Asian.” Others tend to distance themselves from international students from Asia, newer Canadians, and immigrant communities. In my view, their ardent efforts to fight racism unintentionally reproduce the “us” versus “them” divide, which has paradoxically been the spark of this burgeoning movement. It appears to me that both of these views among Asian Canadians could benefit from a broader understanding of the “Too Asian” report. In lumping together Asian Canadians and Asians from Asia, the writers aim at a totalizing construction of “Asian-ness” that transcends national belonging. Alien and intimidating, “Asian-ness” in their account suggests being narrowly focused, inward looking, and self segregating. On the one hand, “white students” are imagined to be free, gregarious spirits

prone to human weaknesses, such as the tendency to drink and party too much. On the other hand, “Asian students” seem to thrive under the iron discipline of despotic parents and share little desire for human connection. No attention is given to the role of parents in the lives of “white students” and Asian involvement in non-academic activities. At the end of the article, “white students” are not asked to drink and party less, if that was ever the point, but “Asian students” are told to get out of their “ethnic ghettos.” In this one-sided theory of “segregation,” it does not appear that “white students” share a responsibility. “Asians” appear as child-like menaces that have little hope of becoming full individuals, the opposite of “whites” who only need to actualize an innate quality. Those of us who are familiar with the history of racism and Orientalism in Canada and elsewhere would likely recognize this typical caricature of a minority. As Asian Canadians, we should unite in challenging the enduring imagination of “Asian-ness” exemplified by the Macleans report and avoid participating in the uncritical elevation and renunciation of “Asianness.” We should not let any group dictate the terms of being “Asian” or “Canadian,” of which meanings and histories are rich and varied, and to which differences of class and gender also matter. To build a

forceful movement for diversity, we should try our best to include Asian and non-Asian Canadians of new and old, immigrants who are not yet citizens, and even students who are not Canadians. To help move Canada forward, let us guard against divisions among ourselves and defend diversity at all cost.

Ten Tips to Tone Your Back C

an you imagine having to go through a day without being able to use your back muscles? No picking things up or putting them down. No breathing, bending, turning, or moving your head. No shrugging! Now, fortunately, few people are in this position! But thousands here in Victoria and millions Canadawide can’t do one or another of these things without pain. Back, neck, and shoulder pain is the number one reason people seek the kind of massage therapy I practice, shiatsu.* The following tips are meant to be safe and useful for most people. If in doubt,

power and watch your arms rise, before finally slowing back down. 4. Active rest Find a clean space on the floor or other firm surface to lay down. Have your soles on the ground, knees bent; arms alongside your body; chin a little tucked, head supported by a firm object (such as a book) a couple of inches thick, in a way that leaves your neck free. As you breathe in, feel your belly and then your chest expand; breathing out, feel them relax as your spine lengthens and your body sink into the earth, supported. This exercise comes from Alexander Technique and is

and the wall. This works important reflex points. Knead the muscles in, around, and under the shoulder blades, shoulder, neck, back, and ribs. This breaks up tension, deepens breath, allows tissues to rebuild, and feels good. 8. Mobilization Do this after the massage, when your range of motion is improved, tissues are warmed up, and nerves no longer pinched. Circle your shoulders up and around to the back and down and back up; this is also good for your heart and lungs. Now circle them the other way; this is good for your upper-back muscles. Take the same ap-

often low-cost and supports local producers; “moderation” means smaller portions, chewing well, eating at rest, and skipping snacks, so you can digest the most out of your food, avoid toxic buildup, and have some regeneration time. Proteins, carbs, and fats all have their place; the balance is different for different people; and quality matters. 10. Sleep Now hopefully after all that massage and movement you’ll have a refreshing sleep. Even if you have trouble falling or staying asleep, use the time to rest or do something easy and fun. There are different kinds of pillows and for some people in some positions (for example, on your back) no pillow can be good too. The support a firmer mattress provides is like a slow, deep massage while you sleep! Darkness and quiet are like a breath of fresh air too. *Based on data from Statistics Canada, the Journal of the American hysical Therapy Association, and Complementary Therapies in Oriental Medicine.

PULCHÉRIE MBOUSSI

Esthetic- Electrolist -Hair stylist run them by your doctor first. 1. Forward/backward stretch Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart; ankles, knees, and hips a little bent; back straight, chin a little down, gazing forward; feeling the weight of your upper body falling straight down through your hips, into your feet and the earth. Starting from the top of the spine, let one vertebra after the other lift off from the one below; you’ll curl over. At the bottom, hang out for a couple of breaths, letting the weight of your head and arms fall. Now one by one let the vertebrae re-stack themselves, from the bottom up, until you are standing upright. If in good health, you can continue a little past the vertical, rotating your shoulders outward; then return to vertical. Repeat a little faster. 2. Side stretch Standing as above, breathe in and let one arm rise and curl above your head as you curl to the opposite side. Imagine being sandwiched between two sheets of paper; keep the front of your body facing forward, without twisting to the side. Hang out at your maximum stretch for a couple of breaths, then come back to vertical. Breathe in, let the other arm rise, and curl to the other side. Repeat a little faster. 3. Rotation Standing as above, swing your hips from side to side, letting the arms rise, elbows bent and following the hip backward; and completing the twist by letting the head follow, chin down, neck relaxed. Start moderately, and then turn up the hip

related to cranial-sacral therapy as well. 5. Take breaks To prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel, as well as tension headaches and other muscle locking, you must take breaks. Various healing programs say two minutes every quarter-hour and ten minutes every hour. Get up, walk around, drink some water, go to the bathroom, whatever your body needs and you can get away with. Your boss isn’t going to fix your body if it breaks, or pay you to recover. And a smart boss knows that your improved efficiency and loyalty will more than make up for those few minutes. 6. Left-right balancing Practice doing tasks left- and righthanded. Find the ones you can get almost as good at with your second side as with your first. For example, using a mouse, washing dishes, using hand tools – anything that the machine doesn’t force you to do one way. Think of your legs the same way: which one leads when you’re climbing stairs, which one you brace with when lifting, and so on. Work using one side for a time and then switch. This allows each side to rest and repair, and builds balanced muscle tone in your limbs and back. Plus, if you’re ever injured on one side, you can keep doing the task without losing a beat. 7. Massage Massage up and down the back 1.5 and 3 thumb-widths away from the spine on either side. Ask someone to trade with you or place a tennis ball between your back

proach to neck circles, turns, and stretches (left, forward, right, and back). Swing each arm in circles alongside your body, each direction, and across your body. Standing or laying, bend a knee and circle that leg in each direction to loosen up the hip, then switch legs. This adds to the back mobilizations you did in steps 1, 2, and 3. Throw in some elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle movements for good measure. 9. Nutrition There are many schools of thought on this one. All agree: eating well and in moderation can make you feel better and live longer. To my understanding, “well” means fresh and simple, not necessarily organic or from the health food aisle, and is

The Best Place on Earth

B.C. EMBRACES MULTICULTURAL DIALOGUES IN COMMUNITIES VICTORIA - What does it mean to live in harmony in a culturally diverse society? Seven communities will find out, thanks to $270,000 in federal and provincial funding, announced Moira Stilwell, Minister of Regional Economic and Skills Development. “British Columbia is recognized as Canada’s most multicultural province, but demographics alone do not make communities more welcoming and inclusive,” said Stilwell. “To meet this goal, we need to sit down together, share our own unique experiences and come up with

ideas to create communities accepting of diversity.” EmbraceBC’s Welcoming and Inclusive Communities Dialogue Initiative supports projects that provide an opportunity for people to talk about what matters to them most while in a comfortable setting. These dialogues bring together diverse voices, perspectives, ideas, perceptions and understandings about multiculturalism. “Canada’s future depends on all of us growing together through our shared values, history and institutions,” said Dr.

Alice Wong, Parliamentary Secretary to Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney. “We support initiatives, such as the Welcoming and Inclusive Communities Dialogue Initiative, which encourage social cohesion and promote intercultural understanding.” Since 2005, 25 community dialogues have been held across the province. Through these dialogues, local citizens share experiences and identify challenges and solutions on themes related to multiculturalism and the elimination of racism. Participants explore unique ways to sup-

port welcoming and inclusive communities in an atmosphere of respect and empathy. “We held our first community dialogue in Victoria last March, and it brought together a variety of people who focused discussion around the issues of multiculturalism and diversity and how they impact our changing community,” said Jean McRae, executive director of the Inter- Cultural Association. “It was valuable to have our community come together to learn about one another and share perspectives in this way.”

B.C. COMMUNITIES GET $1.6M FOR NEWCOMER ESL PROGRAMS VICTORIA - Community groups across B.C. will receive another $1.6 million in funding from the Province to deliver free English language support programs to immigrants and refugees, announced Ida Chong, Minister for Regional Economic and Skills Development. “Speaking, reading and writing English are crucial skills for immigrants and refugees when looking for work, building new friendships and getting to know a new community,” said Chong. “We want new British Columbians to be able to fully participate in all the social and economic opportunities that our province has to offer, and this training program will help them do that.” The English as a Second Language Settlement Assistance Program (ESLSAP) is

an innovative way to provide access to language support to recent immigrants and refugees in more rural and remote communities. Funding allows for a co-ordinator to recruit and provide standardized training to volunteer tutors and match those tutors with immigrants who want to improve their English language skills. Tutoring is focused on the learner’s individual goals and functional language skills that can vary from reading a menu to functioning successfully in a workplace. This year three new programs are being offered in Gibsons, Pemberton and Powell River. The $1.6-million investment will enable 42 service providers to deliver tutoring services

in over 50 regional and remote communities and their surrounding areas. Last year, more than 600 volunteers across B.C. provided English-language tutoring to over 800 immigrant and refugee learners in regional and remote communities. “This funding will assist newcomers in finding jobs, accommodation and access to community resources such as health care, education and legal services”, said Alice Wong, MP for Richmond and Parliamentary Secretary for Multiculturalism, on behalf of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney. “The sooner newcomers can benefit from settlement services, the sooner they can integrate into their communities and improve their job prospects.”

The ESLSAP is one of the programs offered through WelcomeBC, the Province’s umbrella of services for immigrant settlement and integration services and welcoming communities initiatives. ESLSAP is made possible through funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia. Since 2008, more than $100 million in federal and provincial funding has been invested in English language development services for immigrants under WelcomeBC. Information on becoming an ESLSAP volunteer tutor can be found at: www.mytrainingbc.ca/eslsap/recruitment/.

揭秘毛泽东平生四大憾事：最遗憾未能”解放台湾” 我第一次见到毛泽东深表遗憾是对于黄河。宜川大捷的第二天，周恩来向中央机关排以上干部宣布：“同志们，我们的党中央和毛主席准备过黄河到华北去了！” 同志们欢呼跳跃，这说明我们已经打败了胡宗南，全国的解放战争已经到了一个转折点。 1948年3月23日，队伍行军到川口。中央机关要从这里渡河了。河滩上，山坡上，站满了欢送的人群。岸边停泊了十几只木槽船，船工都是粗犷剽悍的小伙子。毛泽东上了第一条船，周恩来、任弼时上了第二条船，陆定一和胡乔木等首长上了第三条船。木船缓缓离岸，我们几名卫士紧靠毛泽东身后左右站立，因为他不肯坐，挥动双手向送行的人群致意。可是，船开始摇晃了，越行水面越失去平静，浪花开始拍打木船发出沉闷的声响。我扶住毛泽东：“主席，快坐下吧。” 毛泽东推开我的手，望望浊浪滔滔的黄河，又望望渐渐远离的西岸和岸上聚集的人群，变得呼吸有声，两眼也大放光彩。这是情绪开始起伏了，他忽然朝支队参谋长叶子龙说：“脚踏黄河，背靠陕北，怎么样？给我照一张相吧！” “对，应该照一张。” 叶子龙匆匆亮出照相机。毛泽东倏而敛去笑容，站稳身体，脸上显出庄严肃穆的神色。于是，叶子龙手中的照相机快门及时地“咔嚓”响了—声。 “好啊。”毛泽东点头笑道：“把陕北的高原和人民，把黄河水照下来，这是很有意义的纪念。” 说话间，行船已近中

流，水面骤然起了变化。正是凌汛时期，巨浪滚滚夹杂着磨盘大的冰块咆哮着，在我们眼前飞掠疾走，冲撞交锋，耳衅一片轰轰巨响。小小木船忽而跃上浪尖，似要腾空飞驰一般，忽而又被沉落的浪头卷入波谷，似要坠人无底深渊一般，除了蓝天什么也望不到了。冰块撞击船帮砰砰作响，木船颠簸得厉害。可是船工们划动双桨，挥动杉篙，“嘿唷、嘿唷……”的号子声不绝于耳，让人热血沸腾。木船一往无前地疾进。毛泽东情绪激荡，他的不宁静是显而易见的，似乎有个念头在心中渐渐酝酿成熟，就要跳出来。随着胸膛的猛烈起伏，他深深地。深深地吸了一口气，突然转身望着随行的警卫人员：“你们谁敢游过黄河？” 警卫人员中很有几个水性好的，便有人喊：“马汉荣行。发大水那次他游过黄河岔给彭老总送信。” 石国瑞说：“发大水的时候我游过延河。” 一向沉稳的孙勇瓮声瓮气地说：“我在枯水季节游过黄河，还可以试一试。” 毛泽东紧接他的话头嚷起来：“那好极了！来，咱俩不用坐船，游过去吧。” 我本是搀扶着毛泽东，闻声一哆嗦，差点吓得叫起来。幸亏我没叫，毛泽东是听不得激的，我若叫喊，他一旦认真起来，后果就不得而知了。那一刻，船上出现了尴尬的沉默。不知谁小声喃喃：“今天不行的，现在是凌汛期。” 孙勇忙接上说：“今天河里有大冰块，不能游了。” 毛泽东哈哈大笑：“不能游了？哈哈，你们是不敢呵！”他转而望着焦油一般浓稠的黄河水，望着那泡沫

飞卷的浪花和漩涡，似乎在思考，在估量，在比较……忽然，他长长叹了一口气，像是自言自语，又似是说给大家听：“你们藐视谁都可以，但是不能藐视黄河，藐视黄河，就是藐视我们这个民族。”

老青马被挤下黄河，它游了上岸。”毛泽东略停片刻，又说：“转战陕北时，你经常打前站，号房子。这一次你还打前站，我随后就来。我到陕西后，要骑马沿黄河走一趟。我要走一趟……”

行船过了中流，毛泽东向河的上游凝望。阳光灿烂，水面上金波万道。毛泽东喃喃：“君不见，黄河之水天上来……到底源头是在哪里？”

“主席，我等着您。”

行船绕过一片淤沙，渐渐靠近东岸。大家都热烈地望着东岸成群结队赶来欢迎的群众，毛泽东却再次回望黄河，长叹一场：“唉，真遗憾！” 我的理解，他是遗憾未能游黄河。建国后，毛泽东游遍了全国的江海湖塘，不管走到哪里，只要有水他就要游，而且总是带着挑战的神情下水，带着征服者的骄傲上岸。但是，他从未用挑战者的神情和征服者的骄傲去面对黄河。他多次视察黄河，一次次凝望黄河，每一次都带着庄严谨慎的神情思考、估量、比较……然后遗憾地离开。他一次也没有游黄河。随着岁月流逝，毛泽东年事已高，再不存游黄河的奢望。然而，“老骥伏枥，志在千里。”他也并不甘心。

当时，高智的爱人已经临产，但他不肯耽搁，与空军副司令员何廷一联系，搭乘顺路的军用飞机让爱人赶到西安。高智一到西安便调查黄河情况，扳着指头数日子，等待毛泽东来。和所有在毛泽东身边工作惯的人一样，离开毛泽东后极不习惯，想得厉害，几乎夜夜做梦，叫喊着：“主席！主席！”惊醒过来，只有寂静的夜。于是，泪水便顺着眼角淌下。就这样，高智扳着指头一天一天数日子，一数数到 1965年，仍然没有等来毛泽东。但是，高智不忘毛泽东的嘱托。1965年他出国去印度尼西亚，乘车由西安去北京时，他不敢休息，沿路调查，做了详细记录。有什么山，有什么沟，有多少涵洞，最长的洞是多少公里？哪段路好走，哪段路不好走，哪里可以歇脚……

在北京，高智见到毛泽东，他先汇报家庭情况，自 1962年4月19日，毛泽东己学习和工作的情况，他的机要秘书高智，准备离开中说：“当初好高骛远，给主南海，调西安去工作。高智也席写的那个学习计划，我没是跟随毛泽东转战陕北，随毛有完成，工作一忙就放下泽东一道东渡黄河的老同志。了。” 谈话时，毛泽东带着感情说：“你在我身边这么多年，我们已经很有感情。不管你到了哪里，你都要为我做一点事情，我要请你帮忙。” 高智很激动，说：“主席吩咐吧，我一定尽最大努力！” 毛泽东咝咝作响地吸几口烟，沉思着说：“我们东渡黄河的时候，你还记得吧？我的

Tween Pavement and Stars Victoria Film Festival invites audiences back to a chimney sweep world The Victoria Film Festival had a very Mary evening at their SingCinema screening of Mary Poppins. Dozens of film fans, some in street wear and others in full Poppins-themed regalia, filled the seats of the Vic Theatre on Saturday, November 27. The VFF’s SingCinema series treats audiences to sing-along performances of their favourite musicals, with lyrics projected onscreen. Everyone is encouraged to come in costume and a prize is awarded to the best-dressed participants. At the beginning of the night, host Randy Waldie called all costumed participants to the front and then led them in a parade around the theatre. The evening’s winners were Aja Young, Dominique Croteau, Algebra Young, Pandora Young, Luke Young, & Jenny Lalonde, who had come dressed as a group of chimney sweeps and their chimney. The enthusiastic team won two passes to the 2011 VFF Opening Gala.

Land & Sea

Interview by Randy Hume

Coast Salish artist Darlene Gait sits down with Diversity Reporter to talk about her work, her people, and her faith. Have you mixed traditional First Nations art with eastern traditions or teachings?

Nations, Tom Sam who is an Elder from the Songhees and Butch Dick, a Songhees artist, all believed in the heart of the project, they believed that it could be written in our original language.

I see my art is a reflection of my native ancestry and my European background. It’s...a reflection of my upbringing. I am not trying to make a statement, I am just being myself.

Is there a message you can give new immigrants about the importance of the native language?

You have said that growing up you always thought of yourself as a First Nations person, but you have European roots as well. My father was the first white, nonnative, person buried here, which was a big to-do...he was so loved by the people here. He had so much respect for our culture and our history. A lot of my beliefs come from my father’s values. Are there similarities between Baha’i teaching and First Nations traditional teachings? The values, yes - one of the reasons why I became Baha’i was because of that. It doesn’t prevent me from learning my culture - I am actually encouraged more to embrace my culture and grow in it. In turn this does impact my art. Are you recognized among Baha’i as a traditional First Nations artist? They consider my art spiritual and native. They don’t see that I am Baha’i, they see something they

consider beautiful and deepen in their own beliefs. Have you painted anything solely based on the Baha’i teachings? No, I get inspiration through my experiences and my dreams. Everything I paint comes from a place of unity within my heart. The “Land and Sea” mural you are working on now is representative of the unity between different historical languages, can you explain? The Esquimalt and Songhees nations used to speak as one, and the language they spoke was known as Lekwungen. [It] is a verbal language that has been getting lost throughout the generations - it goes back thousands of years. It is being revived visually in the mural through a translation of a prayer called “Blessed is the Spot”.

Where does “Blessed is the Spot” originate? The Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Baha’i faith, had written the prayer “Blessed is the Spot” over 180 years ago in Iran. How long will the Land and Sea Mural take to complete? We are in the second phase and the second year of the project. The project has six phases, each eight hundred metres long - it might take five years to complete. When finished, it will have the most squarefootage of any mural in the world. Who else is involved with the project? Dean Kalyan and Bonnie Quaite are the coordinators of the youth chosen to take part in the project. Andy Thomas, Chief of the Esquimalt

It is not so much knowing the language that is important but about the way immigrants and visitors acknowledge the First Nations...a lot of people that have come here do not know what a native person is until many years later. The best way is to make an effort in some small way before you come to Canada and when you’re here, to acknowledge the First Nations people any way you can. We will go out our way to make you feel warm and accepted. We have had several hundred years of practice. What message would you like to give to emerging artists of visible minority? Create from the heart - don’t do it for money! The art that has stood the test of time continues to bring beauty - it comes from a sacred place and I say create from that place. Do not create for the next fad because fads come and go. Darlene’s artwork can be found online at www.onemoongallery.ca

ICA Teaches Diversity in the Workplace Brenn Storr Diversity Reporter Staff On Thursday & Friday, November 19-20, the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria hosted a workshop aimed at helping local businesses create a culturally-welcoming workplace. Hosted by ICA Multicultural Program Coordinator Steven Baileys & Moussa Magassa, of consultant group Hille-Magassa & Associates, the event introduced participants to the difficulties faced by newcomers to Canada and some of the issues they struggle with in finding employment. According to government statistics, approximately 40,000 immigrants arrive in British Columbia every year, 3,000 of them settling in the Greater Victoria Regional District. Participants learned the importance of not only of attracting these immigrant workers but retaining them as well. Baileys & Magassa emphasized the importance of easing new multicultural employees into the workplace and continuing to engage them as they integrate into the organization. The Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria is a non-profit organization that combines arts and social services to address the needs of immigrants and refugees, and to promote the embracing of cultural diversity in Victoria.

THE YOUNG AND THE ENERGETIC Betty Hall, Publicity Director, Sons of Norway On the last Saturday of October, Sons of Norway Foundation Director, Jette Denluck, organized the annual Foundation Dinner honouring those students who achieved scholastic and community excellence. This year’s recipients of the Sons of Norway Foundation scholarships are Bonnie Potter, Tyson Rosberg and Karl Erik Sonvisen and the Eidsvold bursary winners - Meagan Pelchat, Bonnie Potter and Karl Erik Sonvisen. Sonvisen gave a slide show presentation of his experiences at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center for visually impaired youth in Huntsville, Alabama in the summer of 2009, truly an experience he will never forget. Erna Scoular, the Sports and Recreation Director for Sons of Norway, led a cheerful group on a walk around the inner harbour on the first Sunday of November, a truly gorgeous day. Erna organizes walks every month and so far, the weather has been beautiful every time so I’m sure that it will be a lovely day (somewhere) for the next walk on December 5th, starting at 11 AM from Harbour Towers. Norway House has been decorated for Christmas and everyone who enters over this holiday time is encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item, which will be donated to the Food Bank. The annual Juletrefest (children’s Christmas party) organized by Culture Director, Mona Jensen, featuring crafts for the children, singing around the Christmas tree, and of course, the highlight of the afternoon, a special visit by Santa Claus. It will be a fun afternoon for children of all ages!

Maintaining Cultural Identity in a New Environment By Vienna Yeung

How to maintain cultural values in a new society? Every year, the number of immigrants to Canada is increasing. When adult immigrants come and settle, their children have the chance to interact with other Canadian kids, as well as to experience “being a REAL Canadian”. Some immigrant families face large challenges as their children take on attitudes that are not customary in their home country. For example, in some countries disagreeing with ones parents publicly is not acceptable. This can add an extra stress that a family experiences while settling in a new country. Some of the complaints that are heard in our office are that kids do not help out

as much at home, spend too little time with the family and want the most expensive clothes and technology. These are the issues of everyday “Canadian” youth. However, with a cultural background where kids don’t ask for so much, where there is not so much exposure to commercialism, this can be a hard stretch for immigrant families. Identity Balance Some parents have kept alive aspects of the culture of their country of origin, such as language, values, cuisine and music, and may therefore have transmitted them to their children.

These parents want to remind their children of their original ethnicity and it on, arm in arm with their new identity as Canadians. Identity as Opportunities Not all young people who technically belong to the “second generation immigrant” demographic group consider their ethnicity an important part of their identity – far from it, according to Nicole Gallant’s study. When asked to spontaneously name the membership group or groups that define their identity (that is, the groups that are the most significant and characteristic of who they are), 12 out of 28 respondents

Canadians Are Trying to Save More

anadians are trying to save more. You can help them! According to Desjardins Financial Security’s (DFS) 2009 “Rethink Retirement” survey, 23% of Canadians who have changed their saving habits say they are saving more. We have just gone through the worst financial crisis of all time. People were spending and having a good time as the value of their portfolios and properties continued to grow. They felt secure in their jobs and saved little or not at all. This latest crisis was a big wake-up call. People are now realizing that they need to save for the future, for a rainy day and for retirement. It’s human nature for people to take on all the risk in the world when the markets are going up and to suddenly shy away from risk and take their money out of mutual funds when the markets are going down. And even though it’s the worst thing they can do, statistics show that this

money then goes into bank accounts or term deposits. The good news is that with Helios®, we can help our clients save with peace of mind! Because our Guaranteed Investment Fund Contract offers the growth potential of investment funds combined with maturity and death benefit guarantees, our clients don’t have to give up investment growth, and they are protected against future market downturns. Next year, the RRSP deadline is March 1, 2011. Take advantage of these few remaining weeks to invest in Helios, Guarantee Advantage® and the Step-up Interest Fund. All these products are also eligible for the TFSA. Plus, you only need a minimum of $5,000 to qualify for the Helios Contract’s Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB).

Anthem Man on Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne made his way back to Victoria on November 12th, his first visit to the garden city in 30 years. The venue was buzzing as opening act Rob Halford, vocalist for Judas Priest, took the stage. He mixed 3 Judas Priest classics into a set-list dominated by tracks from his new solo album Halford IV: Made of Metal. The crowd went wild as Ozzy launched into set opener “Bark at the Moon”. The 61-year-old entertainer was energetic, lively, and willing to do anything to get the crowd going. From buckets of water to a water gun filled with suds and foam, the audience didn’t stand a chance. This might be the first time I’ve seen buckets of water thrown over a reserved seating crowd – normally you only get that in a

mentioned a group connected with their parents’ country of origin. These second-generation Canadians often “choose” their identity according to social perceptions and potential opportunities. This means if a certain identity is associated with more opportunities, that identity is used. Canada is country largely built on the immigration process. As Canada works towards creating a cultural mosaic, where various identities bring richness to the community and the country, it is important to consider what sacrifices may be included in becoming “Canadian.”

reviewer’s opinion Ozzy’s last good album was 1991’s No More Tears but the enthusiastic crowd seemed to enjoy the tracks from his latest album Scream just the same. Osbourne has had some fantastic players over the years, the best of whom was probably the late Randy Rhoads. Rhoads played on Ozzy’s first 2 albums before his untimely death in a plane crash on March 19, 1982. Ozzy’s current crew was sensational, living up to the high standards of his previous bandmates. The show was a personal milestone for Anthem Man - my 300th concert! My very first show was in Vancouver on October 18, 1988 by non-other than Judas Priest. This was the perfect show to make my number 300.

A Tribute To David Lam -- Carole James The passing of the Honourable Dr David See-Chai Lam leaves many with a heavy heart. His passing is a significant loss to the province of British Columbia. Dr. Lam was an incredibly generous person and was committed to making British Columbia a better place to all that lived here. Born in Hong Kong, Dr. Lam served the province for years and worked towards bridging the culture gap between the Asian communities and the rest of British Columbia. He was intent on making British Columbia a multicultural place. He wanted to see cultural harmony and did whatever he could to foster this idea. Dr. Lam was also B.C.’s first Asian Lieutenant-Governor. He served in this role with respect and distinction from 1988-1995. But his legacy extends beyond this

historic appointment. Dr. Lam was well known for his successful entrepreneurial

nature and generous philanthropy. He was successful in the realm of business, and shared the benefits of his success with the people of British Columbia through a foundation he created with his wife, the David and Dorothy Lam Foundation. He shared his secrets of success with many others. He was a generous soul. He entered partnerships with those that were new to the country and provided them a helping hand when needed. His unwavering commitment to making our province a better place will not be forgotten. His contributions spanned from politics, to parks, to higher education and local community projects. This is reflective in the many institutions that bear his name. The David Lam Park in False Creek, Simon Fraser University’s David Lam Cen-

tre for International Communication and UBC’s David Lam Management Research Centre show the impact that he has had on this province. Many people personally felt the generosity of this kind-hearted individual. He was known to offer his support wherever necessary Although Dr. Lam is no longer with us, his legacy will live on. British Columbia will remember the many contributions of this great man for years to come. Dr. Lam was a truly great Canadian whose openheartedness will be remembered. He adopted this nation as his home, and he will not be forgotten. On behalf of the New Democrat Official Opposition, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the Lam family at this difficult time.

Mosque Opens in Canada’s Arctic Inuvik, Northwest Territories is home to a growing muslim community Special Thanks to Philippe Morin and their completed film should soon be shown in film festivals around the world. As news spread, donations started pouring in. A man from Dubai flew to Inuvik and offered red prayer carpets, while a muslim carpenter from St.Catharines, Ontario flew to Invuik and worked to create a minaret. Though it has attracted much attention, this is not the first mosque in Invuik. The muslim community previously used a small trailer for prayer. Nevertheless, the new mosque has a 37-foot minaret with a crescent moon; definitely a bold symbol that Muslim people are installed and enjoying life in Canada’s arctic.

he small town of Inuvik, Northwest Territories has been making headlines around the world. The reason is the community’s newest place of worship, the Midnight Sun Mosque. The arctic town of 3,200 is home to a small but growing Muslim community. About 100 Muslim men, women and children live in Inuvik. Some have been living there for more than ten years. They are from Sudan, Lebabon, Egypt, Palestine and other parts of the world. This year, Winnipeg’s Zubaidah Tallab Foundation held a fundraiser. They managed to purchase a pre-fabricated building, which was sent to Inuvik by shipping barge. Local muslims purchased a plot of land and establised their new mosque, and waited anxiously as the mosque travelled up Canada’s longest river, the Mackenzie. The new building has space for a kitchen, a children’s play room and also prayer rooms for men and women. A team of documentary filmmakers followed the journey of the mosque,
