International Day fortbe
Bl ® ® 0 A®
Today has been proclaimed by the
United Nations General Assembly in
1966 as the International Day for the
Elimination of Racial Discrimina-tion.
It commemorates the anniver-sary
of the massacre of unarmed
people who, on March 21, 1960,
were demonstrating peacefully in
Sharpeville, South Africa, against
that country's racial laws.
Canada is a States Party to the
International Convention on the
Elimination of all Forms of Racial
Deicrimination which came into
force in 1969, and has reported six
times to the United Nations on the
state of its complaince with the
Convention.
In Canada, the Charter of Rights
and Freedoms and the entrechment
of Multiculturalism in our Constitu-tuo- n
are living proof of our commit-ment
to the principles of equality
and justice for all the people who
make up our culturally and racially
diverse nation.
The policy of multiculturalism,
adopted by Parliament over a deca-de
ago, committed Canada to the
concept of cultural pluralism within
a bilingual framework. One of the
basic thrusts of that policy is to
assist all cultural groups to overco-me
cultural barriers to full participa-tion
in Canadian society. Discrimi-nation
against certain cultural gro-ups
is certainly a barrier to such
participation. The "visible minori-ties",
that is native peoples and
people with origins in Asia and
Africa, face particular difficulties in
this respect.
While we are, in this country,
making progress towards elimina-ting
these barriers, much still
remains to be done to achieve the
goal of full and equal participation
for all our people. In the area of
racial discrimination, we have be-gun
to open up a constructive
dialogue among Canadians in vari-ous
fields to seek ways in which
such discrimination can be elimina-ted
in our society.

STATEMENT BY THE MINISTER OF
MULTICULTURALISMINTHE STATE
MARCH 21, 1983
The Government of Canada has
taken a number of initiatives in the
area over the last few years. The
most important of these are"
— Multiculturalism's 10th Anniver-sa-r
Conference in 1981 which
brought together, at the national
level .for the first time, leaders of
business, labour, the media and
visible minority groups, to begin
this dialogue.
— the Symposium on Race Rela-tions
and the Law in April of last
year similarly brought together
leaders who deal with issues of
the use of the law to fight racial
discrimination.
— a national conference on Visible
Minorities and the Media was held
in the fall of 1982. Key representa-tives
from the advertising and
broadcasting industries and visi-ble
minorities discussed how
Canadian media can better reflect
and portray the diversity of Cana-dian
society in its advertisements
and programs.
The Government of Canada has set
an example in this area by adopting
guidelines on the portrayal and
depiction of minorities in federal
government communications.
We all recognize that the promo-tion
of better understanding, tole-rance
and harmony among our
diverse communities is a long-ter- m
undertaking. Canada is firmly
committed to this undertaking.

Within my own Ministry, I have
established a Race Relations Unit
within the Multiculturalism Program
to identify areas which we as a
society have to address to remove
racial prejudice and discrimination
and to promote positive communi-cations
and relations.
I firmly believe that we can build a
truly creative, dynamic, exciting and
harmonius multicultural and multi-racial
society in Canada that will
provide an example to others. There
is sufficient goodwill and willing-ness
among Canadians to work
towards that goal. We should all
build on that goodwill and willing-ness
and on the progress we have
made so far.
The Charter of Rights and Free-doms,
with its explicit inclusion of
the principle of Multiculturalism, its
preservation and enhancement, is a
proclamation of a promise for the
future. It is up to all of us to ensure
that the promise is fulfilled.

Centar nauke u
Sudbury
U Sudbury 6e biti podignut centar
nauke, pod imenom Science North.
To ce biti glavna atrakcija za turiste,
kojih 6e biti, drzi se, oko 400 hiljada
godiSnje. Centar 6e uposliti 350
osoba.
Sudbury je dosad bio centar
niklene industrije, ali to vi§e nije
sigurno zaposlenje. Jos' prije pet
godina donijeta je odluka da se
pristupi razvitku turizma. Science
North je glavni pothvat u tome.
Centar se podize kod Tamsey
Lake, jednu milju od centra grada.
Nacrt zgrade izradio je poznati
arhitekt Raymond Moriyama.
To ce biti divna zgrada. U njoj ce
biti 3-- D film, kakav danas postoji
samo u Disneljevu centru u Floridi.
Izgradnja centra ce koStati 17
milijuna dolara. Jos 4 i pol milijuna
6e biti utroSena na izloge.
Centar ce biti gotov za godinu
dana.
NjujorSko druStvo za legalnu
pomoc (Legal Aid Society) je podig-l- o
tuzbu protiv uprave grada New
York i drzave New York zbog nebrige
o beskudnim obiteljima sa djecom.
U optuznici se tvrdi da se beskudni-cim- a
cesto puta uskracuje stan, a i
onda kada im se odobri, to su
prostorije neprikladne za ljudsko
obitavanje, a nekad i opasne.
Optuzba je podignuta u ime 16
obitelji koje su izba6ene iz svog
stana zbog nezaposlenosti.
Tvrdi se da su mnoge obitelji
prisiljene da spavaju u parkovima i
napustenimzgradama, na podovima
i stolicama u prostorijama gdje
smeStaju takve osobe (emergency
assistance unit). Nekad ih stavljaju
u stare i prljave hotele, gdje su djeca
izlozena zloSinu, drogama i prostitu-cij- i.
Trazi se financijska odsteta za
pogodene obitelji.
Ne zna se koliko je u New Yorku
obitelji bez stana, a gradski pred-stavni- ci
kazu da dnevno smjeStaju u
hotelima i apartmanima 1600 do
1700 obitelji, oko 20 posto viSe nego
prosle godine.
SR N3EMACKA
Balkaiiska tarifa
BONN (Tanjug) - Turci, Grci i Jugo-slave- ni
na privremenom radu u SR
Njemackoj mogli bi ubuduce za svoje
automobile placati vece osiguranje
nego Nijeraci. To se naziva balkan-sko- m tarifom koja bi mogla biti za
20 do 25 posto veca od Njemacke.
Prijedlog je podnijelo Udruzenje
njeraackih osiguravajucih drastava.
Opravdanje:Balkancicesce imaju pro-met- ne
nesrece, Jugoslaveni i Grci na-vod- no
za 25 posto, a Turci cak za 50
posto vile nego Nijemci.
Neka osiguravajuda drustva ve6 su
poduzela oprezno povecavanje premi-j- a
za strance, a sve bi se trebalo okon-ca- ti
do kraja godine. Osiguravajuca
drustva vjerojatno imaju dobru racu-nic- u,
ali sve je to prilicno neprijatno
zato sto se balkanska tarifa uvodi
usred jasnih nagovijestaja 6 opcem
zaostravanju politike Bonna prema
stranim radnicima.
