Ontarians have been encouraged to gather with the Moksha Canada Foundation to celebrate diverse cultures and lifestyles during its FREE Diversity Tour 2019, including Toronto, Markham and Windsor.
Diversity Tour 2019 has been celebrating Canada's cultural kaleidoscope by bridging today for brighter tomorrow, and by presenting an array of local cultural performances that showcase diversity, inclusion and unity. The Diversity Tour has been engaging diverse cultures, fashions, tastes and traditions from our growing Canadian mosaic.
Diversity Tour 2019 proudly offers an inviting and welcoming environment, by creating positive experiences between people from diverse communities and cultures. Each festival is an opportunity for children, youth, adults and seniors to express themselves, and to become a part of a growing inclusive community that enriches our lives. Participants and patrons will range from local groups to participants and patrons from other provinces - and from the world!
Moksha's final summer 2019 celebration will be a two day long FREE festival held at Riverfront Festival Plaza. This festival will feature a safe place for families to celebrate cultural diversity with local artists and performances, a Kids Zone, food vendors, and local businesses and service providers.
The general public is welcome to attend, and local groups of all ages are welcome to perform. To participate or for more information on the Windsor Diversity Festival visit www.MokshaCanada.com
In April 2019 the Ontario government reduced funding to Legal Aid Ontario by 35%. In response to this, Legal Aid Ontario cut funding to community legal clinics by $15 million dollars. This means:
The cuts to Legal Aid Ontario will continue to increase, reaching 45% by 2021 – which will mean more cuts to funding for community legal clinics. This is the most significant attack on community legal clinics in Ontario’s history. It is particularly devastating for those clinics and communities that have been especially targeted for cuts. Community legal clinics are independent, community based non-profit corporations. We help the most vulnerable people in our province with the basic essentials of life: keeping a roof over their head and some money to put food on the table. This massive cut to funding for community legal clinics will mean reduced front line services – something that Premier Ford promised would not happen with government budget cuts.
On July 30, 2019, our legal clinic, along with all community legal clinics across Ontario will be participating in a Day of Action to promote awareness of these cuts, and the significant impact it will have on our low-income residents. We will have a mobile legal clinic on site, to provide general legal advice on various areas of law, as well as our “Stop the Cuts: Access to Justice For All” campaign information and flyers as well as the unique opportunity for community members to voice their opposition to these government cuts via the official campaign site: https://stoplegalaidcuts.nationbuilder.com/
