Selkirk College to celebrate diverse abilities

Selkirk College hosts its 11th annual Celebration of Diverse Abilities on Monday.

It takes place in the pit on the Castlegar campus from noon to 2 p.m.

Classroom and community support worker program instructor Jane Green explains why they do it.

Green says they had a great turnout last year.

Four teams of students make it all happen, stage, activity, promotion and décor.

This year the organizing class plans on performing a fully-inclusive flash mob-style dance and they welcome everyone to join in and learn the moves here.

Student Michelle Turner says they jumped on the idea of an “Imagine” theme for their annual celebration of diversity.

Classmate Amber Larsen says the event resonates deeply with the students who host it.
