These types of events help young newcomer students get through a transitionary cultural stage and feel welcome to their new surroundings. Staff, teachers and other community members want to give students an opportunity to express their cultural customs, while at the same time learn about Canadian culture through their studies every day.

“This is an exciting opportunity for the school to be part of the local multicultural community, showing how our students’ many different languages and cultures can come together and share some fun,” said Vice-Principal Teresa Borchers, at St. Joseph High School.

Everyone is welcome and invited to come and celebrate a day full of unique flavours and sounds.
