The Imagine Canada – John Hodgson Library has a wide variety of resources on enhancing voluntarism and philanthropy in Canadian multicultural and other diverse communities, as well as general research on the state of diversity and multiculturalism in Canada. In this resource guide you will find works in print and electronic formats which focus on issues related to increasing and supporting the diversity of your organization or community and on the challenges and rewards of promoting social inclusion of Canada's diverse demographics.

Independent searching tips:

To search the full Library Catalogue for additional records, use keywords such as: Diversity, Inclusion, Multiculturalism or Minorit* (with a * wildcard to capture both the subject heading "minority volunteers" and "minorities"). You may also want to search more narrowly using keywords such as Ethnic groups, Immigrants, Refugees, Older people, or People with disabilities, etc.

Use Handbooks to focus on practical tools and resources, and Statistics to focus on quantitative data.

You can also use these keywords in searching the catalogues of other academic and public libraries.
