    A Regina store is being honoured for outstanding commitment to cultural diversity at the first in a series of national ceremonies during the Holy Islamic month of Ramadan.

    The Bay in Regina’s Cornwall Centre will receive a certificate of recognition for valuable contributions to multiculturalism Friday, Nov. 7 at 9 am during a staff meeting at the Bay’s main floor mall entrance.

    Members of the local Muslim community and representatives of the federal department of Canadian Heritage will be present as manager Jocelyne Lang accepts the award on behalf of The Bay.

    The Regina store is one of several Bay, Home Outfitters and Zellers branches across the country displaying posters extending greetings to all Canadians celebrating Ramadan, a sacred time of fasting for Muslims. The poster, on display at the Cornwall Street entrance of Regina’s Bay store, explains that Ramadan is “a celebration of family being together, offering forgiveness and above all, love.” Similar messages are being included in Bay newspaper ads and flyers. A similar campaign was launched for Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights.

    Wade Luzny, Secretary General of the Multicultural Council of Canada, says this cross cultural initiative is a vital and heartfelt message that raises awareness of Islam and incorporates diversity into mainstream and corporate culture.

    “It is beautiful,” says Nargis Bhimji, a Regina resident celebrating Ramadan and member of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women. “It will bring our future generations understanding and respect.”

    Mrs. Bhimji, CCMW Regina, explained the meaning of Ramadan at the Regina ceremony. Kashif Ahmed, communications director of Muslims for Peace and Justice, read a short passage from the Qur’an in Arabic and provided an English translation and explanation of the importance of diversity and understanding.
