Diverse spaces: examining identity, community and citizenship within Canadian public culture
DIVERSE SPACES is a conference aimed at bringing together a diverse range of academics, community leaders, culture/heritage workers and students to discuss multiculturalism in Canadian public cultural sites and institutions. Conference papers draw on interdisciplinary fields to interrogate the spaces, the structures, the goals, the practices, the people and the processes of public cultural and heritage spaces on local, community, national and international scales. Presenters will investigate the negotiations, relationships, compromises, conflicts, successes or failures that emerge as new spaces are established, and as old ones are reconstituted or rethought. More information is available here.

Canada and Refugee Resettlement Conference
This conference intends to bring together approximately 300 academics, policy analysts, policy makers and service delivery practitioners to discuss innovation and best methods and approaches for what will be an on-going need in the 21st Century. The conference will also look at the impact of the Federal Bill C-11 recently completed. The conference is national in scope but it is intended to also look at “successful practices” from the international community.
