He was fifteen years old when his family escaped the war-torn country in the late 1980s. Arriving in Canada in 1990, Bari only spoke a few words of English. About ten years later, after completing high school and several years of post secondary education, Bari's passion to help others led him to become a police officer. Bari believes in working hard and never giving up. He made the most out of every opportunity as a Canadian. In the first fifteen years of his career as a police officer, he was the recipient of ten different awards, including for outstanding service, lifesaving, and a medal of meritorious service from the Lieutenant Governor of BC. Bari also completed a Bachelor of General Studies, and a Master of Arts at the University of the Fraser Valley. He continues to have a passion for learning and helping others and is nearing the end of completing a second master's degree with a goal of completing a doctoral degree in psychology. He strives to increase understanding between Canadians and those who are new to Canada, helping them see that they are not all that different from each other. Bari believes that we are all connected as humans, and as such are all part of this country's fabric. Bari believes that discrimination and oppression can eventually lead to frustration and violence which divides the human family. If we treat others with dignity and respect and try to see them as human without judgement, we remove the biggest obstacle standing in the way of unity. Bari, his wife, and their three children live in the Lower Mainland of BC.lihat lebih sedikit
