A Richmond principal was one of many who were recognized for their efforts to address racism at the 2023 B.C. Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Awards.
Sabrina Bhojani, principal at Richmond Jewish Day School, received an honourable mention for the awards' intercultural trust category, which recognizes outstanding work in building intercultural trust and understanding and/or reducing racism and hate between communities at an awards ceremony last week.
The Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Awards honour people and organizations in Vancouver that are addressing racism and promoting inclusivity in their communities. This year more than 100 people were nominated with five award winners across three categories and six honourable mentions including Bhojani.
Bhojani has more than 12 years of experience as a school-based administrator in both public and private Kindergarten to Grade 12 educational settings, according to the Ministry of Attorney General in a media statement.
The local principal "regularly invites religious scholars and members of the Christian, Islam, Jewish, Muslim, Bahai and Sikh faiths to share their knowledge and background with students to promote rich dialogue, community care, empathy and understanding," reads the media statement.
“I am so inspired by these community leaders who are using outside-the-box approaches to address racism in their communities," said Mable Elmore, parliamentary secretary for Anti-Racism Initiatives.
“I am grateful to all of the nominees for their efforts this year, and all of the organizations, individuals and volunteers throughout B.C. who are strengthening our communities with their voices, passion and advocacy.”
