The cultural diversity committee had three recommended initiatives for anti-racism and discrimination in the city.

“In March 2011, the City of Moose Jaw joined the Canadian Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination (CCMARD), which is part of a larger international coalition being promoted by UNESCO,” said Dalise Hector, member of the committee.
“The coalition launched in March 2004 by UNESCO consists of networks of cities interested in sharing their experiences to improve their policies against racism, discrimination, exclusion and intolerance.”
