Is interculturalism just a new, more acceptable label for multiculturalism? Organized by G rard Bouchard, the Chicoutimi history professor who co-chaired the 2007-08 Bouchard-Taylor Commission on accommodation of minorities, the threeday meeting will hash out strategies for grappling with increasing cultural diversity in Europe, Quebec and the rest of Canada.
