As Hall (2000) contends, the term multicultural “describes the social characteristics and problems of governance posed by any society in which different cultural communities live together and attempt to build a common life while retaining some of their original identity”(p. 209). He further states that the term describes “the strategies and policies adopted to govern and manage the problems of diversity and multiplicity which multicultural societies throw up”(p. 209) . In the context of education, multiculturalism attempts to equip ethnic and cultural groups with an understanding of, and respect for, the unique cultures of other ethnic groups. It further aims to reduce the discrimination that some minority groups face in schools and in the wider society (Banks, 1994) .  \nHistorically, Canada’s federal government has made a firm commitment to multiculturalism, and to promote and encourage integration. In his 1971 speech on multiculturalism, then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau outlined practical steps that the federal government would take to support and promote this policy:  \n1. Resources permitting, the government will seek to assist all Canadian cultural groups that have demonstrated both a desire and effort to continue to develop a capacity to grow and contribute to Canada, and a clear need for assistance, the small and weak groups no less than the strong and highly organized.  \n2. The government will assist members of all cultural groups to overcome cultural barriers to full participation in Canadian society.  \n3. The government will promote creative encounters and interchange among all Canadian cultural groups in the interest of national unity.  \n4.
