Description
Group portrait of unidentified individuals with mayor Brenda Locke at the Sawan Mela, a cultural show, organized by the South Asian Family Association (SAFA) and held at Moberly Arts and Cultural Centre in Vancouver, B.C.
The South Asian Family Association (SAFA) is a non-profit organization that aims to highlight the South Asian community and culture. SAFA was formed in 2002 with goals to promote positive images of the South Asian community, enhance cross-cultural understanding, and empower families to maintain their heritage while embracing Canadian culture. Some of the ways they accomplish these goals are through organizing Indian festivals, including their annual summer India Live festival and Diwali functions, providing annual scholarships for high school students, holding International Women's Day forums, running youth summer camps and organizing health fairs for the South Asian community.
Brenda Locke was appointed Minister of State for Mental Health and Addiction Services on Sep. 20, 2004. She was first elected in 2001 to represent the riding of Surrey - Green Timbers. Locke has served as chair of the Legislative Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, and as a member of the Select Standing Committee on Education and the Government Caucus Committee on Health. She previously was on the Safe School Task Force, Burrard Thermal Task Force and on PNWER (Pacific Northwest Economic Region). Before becoming an MLA, Locke was the executive director of the BC Liquor Licensee and Retailers Association, a position she held since 1985. From 1979 to 1983, she was the office manager for the Richmond Association for Children's Services which managed three group homes for troubled youth and an outreach program for youth under twelve. Locke holds three professional affiliations: Association of Tourism Professions member who achieved Distinguished Member status in 1997; Hospitality Industry Education Advisory Committee member (1988-2000) and chair (1995-2000); and, Hospitality Industry Liquor Licensing Advisory Committee member (1987-1998). Locke's community activities include: supporter of children's minor sports (1995-present); Tourism Surrey Task Force (1999-2001); Surrey Chamber of Commerce (1996-present); Member of Green Timbers Heritage Society (2000-2001); Surrey's "Healthiest Babies Possible" (1990-1995); Burnaby's FAS/FAE Committee (1991-1994); and, Richmond's Designated Mother Project (1989-1990).
Operated by the Vancouver Park Board and the Sunset Community Association, the Moberly Arts and Cultural Centre provides a place for intercultural connections, a gathering place for the community, and an opportunity for all to experience the arts in programs, events, and performances.
