• About 1 in 5 Canadians (19.8%) was born outside of Canada.
• Immigrants from Asia make up more than half of all newcomers (58.3%), followed by
those from Europe (16.1%), the Caribbean, Central and South America (10.8%), Africa
(10.6%) and the United States (3.5%).
• About 95.8% of all immigrants who have been in Canada for 10 years or less live in
Ontario (53.8%), British Columbia (17.8%), Quebec (15.5%), and Alberta (8.7%).
• About 1 in 5 Canadian residents (20.1%) has a mother tongue other than English or
French.
• About 1 in 5 Canadian residents with non-official language mother tongues (22.0%) uses
a language other than English or French at work.

Examples of Cultural Destructiveness
Residential Schools
In 1857, the Government of Canada passed the Gradual Civilization Act, which set aside funds
for schools that would teach the First Nations peoples English. The Indian Act of 1876 gave
further responsibility to the federal government for Native education. These policies were
intended to assimilate First Nations children into a more western society, and attenuate local
native cultures. For more information, visit http://www.albertasource.ca/treaty8/eng/default.htm ,

Some Indicators of Cultural Blindness
An organization at the cultural blindness stage may:
• Dismiss merits of policies and programs that address cultural diversity;
• Demonstrate a lack of cultural diversity in board membership and staff;
• Support the belief that people, regardless of their cultural background, are the same;
• Allocate inadequate resources in terms of staff, time and budget to services for diverse
cultural groups;
• Not have in place mechanisms to keep track of access to services by cultural groups,
and to evaluate cultural responsiveness of existing services;
• Refuse to deal with past histories related to inter-group relations; and
• Not provide adequate professional development opportunities for board and staff
members to develop knowledge and skills in dealing with cultural diversity.

Tips for Reflective Analysis
• Examine the existing organizational structures and functions, and determine to what
extent they reflect and respond to cultural diversity in the community.
• Review data on cultural representation among board members, staff, volunteers and
service users.
• Examine underlying philosophies, principles and values that guide existing
organizational structures and functions, and determine how relevant and responsive they
are to cultural diversity.
• Examine the historical context and evolution of existing organizational structures and
functions, and determine how relevant and responsive they are to cultural diversity.
• Examine existing policies and practices with respect to policy and decision-making,
programs and services, communication, personnel practices, community relations, etc.,
and determine how relevant and responsive they are to cultural diversity.
• Examine intended and unintended impacts of existing structures, policies and practices
on culturally diverse populations.
• Identify barriers that limit access of ethnocultural members to services and other
organizational involvement.
• Identify ways to increase access and participation of members of cultural groups in all
aspects and levels of the organization.
• Research and develop a sound rationale for organizational cultural competence.
• Conduct a cost-benefit analysis for cultural competence efforts.
• Identify resources, opportunities and supports that are conducive to organizational
change efforts.
• Identify constraints and barriers that may hinder organizational change efforts.
• Assess issues and suggestions identified during internal and external consultations.

and results.
• Maintain momentum in implementation of action plans through recognition of cultural
competence champions, capacity building, and use of diverse talents and expertise.
• Use creative methods to gather and share information and learning.
• Ensure that issues, concerns and new ideas are relayed to core cultural competence
development committees.
• Involve members in ongoing reflection and response to emerging issues.

Tips for Dynamic Evaluation
• Incorporate cultural competence into the existing framework of performance outcome
measurements (for both individual employees and the organization as a whole).
• Ensure comprehensiveness of indicators of success and their congruence to stated
goals and objectives of cultural competence.
• Integrate diverse, creative methodologies of evaluation to assess both outcomes and
processes.
Ensure feedback from evaluation processes are incorporated in revised action plans for
subsequent cycles of analysis, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
