The Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan (MCoS) aims to support initiatives that demonstrate a deep understanding, acceptance, and demonstration of multicultural values. They prioritize projects that contribute towards their mission, achieving aims and objectives aligned with their Strategic Directions. MCoS promotes multicultural values across five streams of work: Cultural Continuity, Celebration of Diversity, Anti-Racism, Intercultural Connections, and Integration, emphasizing the importance of retaining ethnocultural traditions, celebrating diversity, combating racism, fostering intercultural connections, and ensuring community integration.
The Multicultural Education Initiative (MEI) grants, offered by MCoS, provide financial aid ranging from $200 to $400 to schools and school boards in Saskatchewan. These grants are intended to support classroom and professional development projects that align with anti-racism, reconciliation, diversity, and cultural education. The initiative is designed to support 25 to 50 educational projects per year, encompassing five main areas: Cultural Continuity, Celebration of Diversity, Anti-Racism Work, Intercultural Connections, and Integration. Each of these areas plays a crucial role in promoting multicultural awareness and cooperation, offering support through resources, funding, sponsorship opportunities, workshops, and training programs to facilitate deeper cultural learning and engagement within the community.
