In northern British Columbia, Ujjal Dosanjh’s NDP leadership election meets little surprise. The region’s diverse communities have long lived as a small melting pot, displaying tolerance often lacking in larger urban centers.
The piece notes Dosanjh will be Canada’s first Indo Canadian premier and argues northern B C communities foster tolerance through contact and interdependence. It cites George Jeffrey and Rev Lance Morgan and recounts experiences with a French Canadian teacher and a black immigrant, highlighting mutual aid and acceptance amid diverse backgrounds.

Other appointments include Sue Hammel for multiculturalism and immigration, Cathy McGregor for municipal affairs, Gretchen Mann Brewin for children and families, Graeme Bowbrick for advanced education, training and technology, Joan Smallwood for women's equality, and Jan Pullinger for social.
