Stories matter: The stories we tell and the stories that remain untold shape the world we live in. In this project we want to amplify and include new voices and create space to tell another story, a more inclusive and complex story of our history together. The Canadian Interfaith Conversation is calling for story contributions for a Canada-wide interfaith project for UN World Interfaith Harmony Week 2022 beginning Feb 1, 2022. We would like to highlight moments of interfaith cooperation, tension, community contribution, and any exceptional people of faith who have contributed to Canada. The goal is to use these stories to create a user-friendly website that will have timelines, stories and include links to additional story resources that your community may have already developed. There will also be educational resources and discussion guidelines that can be used by educators across the country. Our hope for this resource is to increase representation of communities who have been missing historically from the stories told in our school curriculums. We’re calling people of faith from coast to coast to coast to be a part of building this resource together and to submit stories of their communities' most important moments in Canadian history.
