About this Event

Canadian Colour Kingston Foundation and BGC South East proudly presents the 9th Annual Diversity Dinner.

The Diversity Dinner is gathering that embraces the diversity and culture that makes our community such a great place to call home. It serves as an opportunity for us to come together and recognize that our strengths and in our differences, and it is our shared responsibility to create inclusive spaces.

This year’s partnership with BGC South East in celebration of youth and inclusive spaces comes at a time of great need, but also of great opportunity. All proceeds from the diversity dinner sponsorships and donations will go directly back to BCG towards their incredible Reg Shadbolt May Campaign with their goal to raise $160,000 to help 650 children in need attend summer camp without barriers.

That is why this year’s theme is “Inclusive Spaces, Make Great Places” and we celebrate the organizations that work to make our communities an inclusive place for youth. Join us for this very special event, and learn more about the amazing community groups, individuals, and organizations that make Kingston an amazing place to call home.
