Multicultural Canada Day Festival

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Multicultural Canada Day Festival has been cancelled.

This year, while we will not be gathering in Del Crary Park to celebrate in-person, we look forward to presenting a range of alternative programming to celebrate Multicultural Canada Day with our community.
