even the rosy forecast of fishery managers.
The Pacific Salmon Commission has steadi-

incoming sockeye, now on track to exceed
14.5 million in total.
That’s more than the 11 million sockeye A J.N. Burnett student (right) helps a Korean visitor. Seventeen Burnett students worked with 52 South Korean exchange students who

T
onight the Richmond Multicultural
Concerns Society will hold a discus-
sion as part of its Inter-Faith Bridg-
ing Project, focussing on three religions:
Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism.
The discussion follows a successful tour of
temples and a mosque on No. 5 Road recently that
attracted 200 people.
The Inter-Faith Bridging project is a tremendous
initiative that helps bring about a greater under-
standing of three religions. They happen to be reli-
gions that often get noticed by major media for the
actions of some of their more violent followers. It is
nice to see an initiative that instead looks at build-
ing an understanding of and between Hinduism,
Islam and Sikhism.
While Richmond recently made the news for the
actions of a couple of punks with a penchant for
racist graffiti, the reality is the city is a model of
multiculturism. It’s a place where people of differ-
ent religions often portrayed as being at odds with
each other get along with each other. It’s interest-
ing to note that the Inter-Faith Bridging tour was
a walking one since the temples and mosque are
neighbours on No. 5 Road. This is also a city that
saw a basketball game played between a Muslim
school and a Jewish school. Again the message is
people of different faiths do get along.
