Sherbrooke, March 21, 2014 –
This Monday, March 24, the Bishop’s University community is taking a stand for cultural diversity and freedom of religious expression. Following acts of vandalism of an islamophobic nature targeting the business of a Tunisian owner of a food store and halal butcher shop in Sherbrooke, the community has decided to mobilize itself to condemn these wrongdoings.
The members of the Bishop’s University community wish to openly reiterate and support the great founding principles of our pluralistic society, dedicated to community and social harmony, to the respect of differences, to embracing the world and cross-cultural coming together. This rally stands as a symbol of rejection of any and all forms of discrimination and racism, but also and foremost, as a recognition and celebration of the ethnocultural and religious diversity, the likes of which we see expressed on our campuses, in Sherbrooke and elsewhere in Quebec.
