Hua Xia Multiculture Society

British Columbia is the most ethnically diverse province in Canada. Almost 30 percent of British Columbians immigrated to B.C. from another country. Just under one-quarter of the people in B.C. are a visible minority. Another five percent of the population is Aboriginal. As a member of our ethnically diverse communities, you will also be able to experience the cultural heritage of other people from around the world. The purpose of HXMS is to promote the spirit of community services and to encourage participation in various activities.

Education Initiatives and Partnership

环球中文学校Universal Chinese School

The Government of British Columbia is firmly committed to recognizing and honouring the diversity of all British Columbians. Diversity among people is one of the most prominent features of British Columbia’s society.

Diversity in B.C. schools is an overarching concept that reflects a philosophy of equitable participation and an appreciation of the contributions of all people. It is a concept that refers both to our uniqueness as individuals and to our sense of belonging or identification within a group or groups.

What is Hua Xia, 華夏

Hua Xia (traditional Chinese; pinyin: Huáxià) is a name often used to represent China or Chinese civilization. According to the historical record, Zuo Zhuan, the ancient Xia Dynasty of central China was a state that held propriety and justice in high esteem, thus the word xia, which has the meaning of "great" or "grand", was used by subsequent dynasties to refer to the entire country as a mark of refined culture. The word hua was also used in reference to the beautiful clothing that people in ancient China wore, as the word means "illustrious" and "splendid". The two words hence describes a great civilization.
