Sponsorship Opportunites

Creating Bridges: Multiculturalism and Diversity in the 21st Century will address the themes of multiculturalism and diversity within a range of communities and against the backdrop of the 21st century. The conference will attract leading decision-makers, thinkers and practitioners in multicultural and diversity affairs from Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada and nationwide.

Delegates will include community organization leaders, senior government officials, researchers from respected institutions, and cultural diversity officers from the public and private sectors.

Speakers will include leaders of multicultural organizations and agencies, and politicians representing a range of local, regional, provincial and federal services.

If your organization involves members of multicultural communities or supports diversity initiatives, you cannot afford to miss the sponsorship packages on offer for MANS’ 2010 Creating Bridges conference.

Creating Bridges offers a rare opportunity to target key leaders and decision-makers in multicultural and diversity affairs at a very reasonable cost. Your organization will also be supporting the invaluable work MANS does on behalf of Nova Scotia’s multicultural communities.
