The Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Committee is an advisory committee to Saskatoon City Council that provides advice on issues relating to the Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Policy. It assists with organizing a number of events throughout the year, such as the “Living in Harmony” Awards held every March. Literary, art and recognition awards are given out to honour individuals or groups for their efforts in promoting “living in harmony” within our community.
