Lily's Talkshow :
Public Welfare Initiative on Calling for the Establishment of "Community Culture Protection Day" in British Columbia

On December 20, 2018, the 100-year-old White Rock Pier in White Rock City, British Columbia, which is known all over the world, was broken by unprecedented storms. It shocked White Rock City, South Surrey, Vancouver, British Columbia and the whole Canada. Over the next six months, the relevant agencies made great efforts to repair the world-famous White Rock Pier. During this period, tourists from all over the world, as well as our young people living here, are constantly concerned about the restoration of the White Rock Pier and look forward to its reopening to continue to show British Columbia's long history of development and multiculturalism!
With the restoration and reopening of the White Rock Pier, we can see the happy children and their parents on the White Rock Beach again. We can see the old people walking leisurely on the seaside path, the happy seabirds rising and falling on the trestle, train whistling along the track of more than 100 years from the White Rock Pier! Here's another tourist attraction and leisure community that nothing seems to have happened before!

But why are there extreme weathers? How will the natural environment change? Has the cultural environment and facilities in each of our communities been valued and effectively protected? Especially when we are surrounded by those natural landscape we are proud of or cultural landscape in the face of sudden changes, what kind of shock and impact does it have on our hearts? As students and members of the community, no matter how diverse our birthplace, ethnicity, ethnic group and family are, we all love Canada, British Columbia, our own community and family. This is the driving force of Canadian multicultural heritage. It is our duty to look for, pay attention to and cherish the existence of history and culture around us. Through sustainable, preventive, protective publicity and positive, experimental actions and measures, we can make more young people and community residents really care about the cultural existence and the dissemination of relevant history in their region. This is a system of respecting the Constitution and multicultural law. While safeguarding individual freedom and rights, we should start from ourselves and safeguard the social public welfare responsibility of self-governing survival of equal groups. Take precautions, and don't wait for changes to occur before we pay attention to the historical and cultural protection of our school district and our community! We should be preventive, protective and proactive starting from our surrounding communities and schools!

We have our own British Columbia Day and Family Day in British Columbia. Not only to protect the natural environment, but also to protect the human environment, which is the real and sustainable development of British Columbia for the future of the power of multiculturalism!

We advocate that we should start from ourselves: Call for the Establishment of British Columbia Culture Protection Day Based on Multicultural Legalization. Every December 20, as a social public welfare reminder day for publicity and action of public institutions and schools in British Columbia, every student and parents are encouraged to pay attention to the protection of cultural facilities and the narration, collection and dissemination of cultural history in their communities and school districts. While paying attention to the preventive protection of natural environment, we should also pay attention to the preventive protection of cultural environment.

Call for the establishment of "12.20 Cultural Protection Fund" for special maintenance and restoration with humanistic value such as White Rock Pier and for taking the preventive observation and research on cultural facilities that may be damaged by natural disasters in the future. Initiate public-spirited student associations and cooperate with professional organizations to conduct annual census, which involves cultural environment, cultural facilities, cultural history, cultural pluralism assessment of British Columbia and submit annual report on cultural protection of British Columbia (White Paper).

Call for regular (Dec. 20) or non-regular organization of student commonweal associations to conduct open-air lectures, performances and donations at major cultural facilities and cultural tourist attractions in British Columbia (e.g., students from South Surrey- White Rock area to White Rock Pier, students from Vancouver City to Vancouver Art Museum) to promote the Participation Level of students' public Welfare Societies in Serving Community and Society. At the same time, it will show Canada and the world the good image of British Columbia in protecting multiculturalism, so that more citizens and tourists will be concerned about the inheritance and protection of British Columbia's multiculturalism.

First of all, we initiated the establishment of "12.20 Cultural Protection" for middle school students' public welfare associations. Act after establishing the purpose, organization and operation procedure. Our first activity will focus on "Birds are asking: Will the White Rock Pier fall down tomorrow? and "Everyone: Action, for the Cultural Environment of Everyone's Community!" The second phase of the activity will organize students of all grades to go home and pay attention to the survey of cultural facilities around their communities, so as to find thematic clues for the third phase of the activity.
