Title
Multiculturalism Diversity - Canadian Ethnocultural Council
Description
Founded in 1980, the Canadian Ethnocultural Council (CEC) is a non-profit, non-partisan coalition of national ethnocultural umbrella organizations which, in turn, represent a cross-section of ethnocultural groups across Canada.
The CEC's objectives are to ensure the preservation, enhancement and sharing of the cultural heritage of Canadians, the removal of barriers that prevent some Canadians from participating fully and equally in society, the elimination of racism and the preservation of a united Canada.
Since its inception, the CEC has advocated for the adoption by the Government of Canada of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act, the Employment Equity Act and for the inclusion of Section 27 (multiculturalism) in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
