A Taste of Culture celebrates diversity this weekend at WDM
For the past 11 years, the Battlefords Immigration Resource Centre has brought people from different backgrounds together with its Taste of Culture celebration.
Each year, the resource centre provides assistance to newcomers integrating into Canada and, in hosting A Taste of Culture, brings a variety of people together regardless of their backgrounds. This year’s event takes place this weekend at the Western Development Museum.
“It’s an amazing event that has been well received over the years,” Centre Executive Director Annette McGovern said. “We have had well over 5,000 attendees in past years, and this year we are expecting big numbers once again.”
Highlights of the weekend will include a citizenship ceremony Friday morning at 10 a.m. when 60 people will be sworn in as Canadian citizens.
