Citizenship and Immigration Canada has announced the appointment of three prominent members of the Indo-Canadian community to serve on an advisory committee for the Community Historical Recognition Programme (CHRP). This programme, initiated in 2008, allocates funds to community-based commemorative and educational projects that recognize the impact of historical immigration restrictions and wartime measures on various minority groups in Canada. Through CHRP, the Indo-Canadian community will receive $2.5 million to support projects related to the Komagata Maru incident of 1914. Committee members Jack Uppal (Chair), Ratna Ghosh (Vice-Chair), and Iqbal Gill will be evaluating eligible projects and providing advice to the Minister on their merit.
“These three individuals have demonstrated great leadership and made major contributions on issues important to their community,” said Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney in a news release on August 1, 2009. “The advice they are providing on the merit of eligible Indo-Canadian Community Historical Recognition Programme projects is extremely valuable.”
Ratna Ghosh, Professor of Education at McGill University in the fields of multicultural education, race relations, human rights and women and development, is a former president, alumni, current grant holder and friend of the Shastri Institute. Her desire, through this appointment, is to see important events like the Komagata Maru incident represented in Canada’s history books and become generally known to all Canadians throughout the country.
“It is my great wish to make history more meaningful to people so that they can connect to what really happened in Canada, not only dates, but to the social history of Canada,” she said during a news conference in Vancouver. “I find it a real privilege to be part of this group.”
Background information on all three committee members is available on the Citizen and Immigration Canada website.
The last CHRP call for proposals closed on May 22, 2009. However, another call for proposals could be posted in 2009-2010 (subject to budget availability). Interested parties should track the CHRP website for updates.
