Celebrate Wilsonville’s cultural diversity!
To ensure that Wilsonville recognizes cultural holidays and events that hold meaning to community members in historically-marginalized groups, the City's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee have drafted a community calendar.
The DEI Committee is now seeking public input on the draft calendar, which is to help the City acknowledge a wide array of events on social media channels, avoid scheduling conflicts, develop future community events and otherwise help establish a culture of inclusion and belonging for all residents.
You'll note that the calendar doesn't include many dates that are generally celebrated among the majority of community members already, such as New Year's Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter.
Are there dates of significance that you'd like to see included?
Go to Let’s Talk Wilsonville and complete a short form to them more about the date(s)/event(s) you wish to recognize.
The input received will inform an update to the calendar, which is being forwarded to the City Council to consider for adoption when the project is complete.
