Robin is with Shadi Salehian, Chair of One Burlington and Dan Fraser, organizer for the upcoming Share the Love city-wide Food Drive from Feb 6 to 13th. One Burlington was founded by several faith groups after the Quebec mosque shooting in 2017, One Burlington celebrates the multi-faith, multicultural foundation of our community. They believe that the contributions of our diverse faith and cultural groups continue to strengthen Burlington and make it one of the best places to reside. Its an organization of over 40 faith and non-faith groups who hope to create opportunities for people of different backgrounds to come together in a peaceful and cordial manner; to learn about and experience aspects of each others’ faith and culture. Dan and his wife Merrilee Fraser have been spearheading this Food drive by contacting grocery stores and faith groups in Burlington and they are very surprised how welcoming and generous our fellow neighbours have been. A diverse, integrated Burlington is a stronger, kinder and more interesting community to live in!
