Article in Lethbridge Herald

Posted by & filed under Blog/News.

An article in the Lethbridge Herald by Tymmarah Sheculski, a Diversity and Inclusion Consultant living in Lethbridge, who is a former EICEA board member. Please note that we still have the Multifaith Calendars available that she discusses in the article:

“If you want to learn more about celebrations of other faith communities, I recommend purchasing a Multifaith Calendar from the Edmonton Interfaith Centre for Education and Action. See http://www.edminterfaithcentre.ca/resources/2019-multifaith-calendar-coming-together-exploring-new-directions/. In workplaces, managers and supervisors can refer to it to be prepared for staff who may be requesting time off for their holy days – which, in some cases, is a strict requirement of their faith practice. If we don’t attempt to give time off for a holy day when it’s requested, an employer may be committing a human rights offence, but that’s not a great reason to make the accommodation.”

Celebrations, Calendars & Casinos

Dear friends and supporters, first please join us as we celebrate the launch of an Eckankar display, Celebrating Our Faiths, at City Hall on Monday, Dec. 17, at noon! There will be a short program including greetings from the city and the Edmonton Interfaith Centre. We will chant HU – the acoustics in City Hall are amazing – and have time to share personal spiritual experiences while enjoying snacks. Come and help us celebrate!

Second, the 2019 Multifaith Calendar is selling fast, cost is $16, payable by cheque or PayPal on our website.

Third, we have another casino on February 18 & 19, 2019. It was a major decision for us to apply for a license and the proceeds have given us a level of financial security we hadn’t had before. Please let us know if you can volunteer for a shift.
