This weekend, our Multicultural Festival touched down in Exeter and we are still grinning from all the fun. Making these connections between people of all backgrounds is the basis of what we do. Not only does it strengthen the fabric of our community, it enriches each of us as we connect with others of like mind and spirit.
A huge MAPH thank you for everyone who helped to make this happen and took the time out of their lives to celebrate with us. Especially the South Huron Municipality staff and the unending support of Mayor George Finch.
More threads in the multicultural fabric of our region!
So proud to welcome delegates from around the world to Stratford, Ontario!
How neat is Stratfords of the World Day and the week of August 2-9, 2023 as "Stratfords of the World Week"? The City of Stratford is celebrating with delegates from all attending with a fun ceremony of custom flag raising and cake cutting with council and Mayor Martin Ritsma.
A strong connection with others makes for a fantastic local community. Connections with these other Stratfords helps us look to the world as community and make those same connections.
Our Next Multicultural Festival! EXETER! Our summer tour continues and we are very excited to be in Exeter at MacNaughton Park.
There will be food and live music from many cultures with donations going to support Ukrainian families. We want to give everyone the chance to enjoy different cultures, celebrate our differences, and support newcomers making their home in our communities.

Special thanks to Patsy Anne Day of the Turtle Clan of the Oneida Nation open with a prayer as well as Mayor Martin Ritsma and all of our community supporters.
Each event like this unites and recharges us as we inclusively surround ourselves with those of wonderful diversity and infectious positivity.
We continue to be inspired by newcomers like our Ukrainians and communities like Clinton!
Thank you to all of our communities, particularly Clinton for the donations and support from City Hall in this instant. Wonderful meal and real connections made to strengthen the fabric of our culture.
So much to do and we couldn't enjoy it as much without constructive supporters and passionate humanitarians!
