The goal was social harmony and personal enrichment as well as pride in Canada's national identity (Wright, O. M. (2000) Pg. 63).
Canada is one of the world’s most diverse countries in the world and its goal of social harmony and personal enrichment of multiculturalism in my opinion has succeeded because many great efforts have been made to promote equity. Since 1971, many programs and policies such as the Canadian Human Rights Act, Canadian Multiculturalism Act, etc. have been implemented to show that individuals from various ethnic backgrounds are welcomed and will be treated with equality; these were the main reasons why my family wanted to immigrate to Canada. The country’s vision of abandoning the idea of no assimilation but integration of multiculturalism has given everyone an opportunity of enrichment of learning each other’s lives. This is a beneficial way of educating ourselves and learning about diversity because in order to live in harmony not only in Canada but the world as a whole, we need to develop an understanding and respect for one another. I am proud to say that I live in a country where multiculturalism is valued because no matter where you are from, you are still able to hold onto your roots.
