This article raises the question of how the Canadian educational system can avoid the polemics of massive immigration from non-European countries and strive towards developing an equitable, fair and sustainable society based on socially just, cohesive principles. The discussion revolves around the concepts of culture and identity in a pluralistic society and how the educational system responds to these challenges. The focus is on understanding the multiple identities of Canadian students, including aboriginal epistemologies, by creating culturally responsive teachers, developing intercultural competence programmes and establishing the foundations of multicultural education. This multi-thematic study explores ways in which contemporary ways of teaching and learning can be transformed into a diverse, sustainable and global curriculum which is inclusive of all students, regardless of their multiple identities
