Diversity

The Diversity Challenge - The Diversity Challenge is intended to help Members learn more about themselves as well as others in their units, community, province, and around the world. It is branch specific with different activities for each group. It has been developed in three parts, which can be completed each year or independent of the others. A special crest, which can be purchased from the Provincial Office, has been designed for each part of the Challenge. The crests can be worn individually or joined together to make one large extraordinary crest.
