Multicultural Day will make its annual return to Totem Hall on Saturday, Feb. 8, bringing the community together to celebrate the diversity that defines the Sea to Sky region.
First held in 1993, the event focuses on fostering respectful relationships and creating a shared space for learning and connection.
Organized by the Squamish Valley Elders in collaboration with the Squamish Multifaith Association, Multicultural Day aims to highlight cultural traditions through food, music, crafts, and storytelling.
“[The day] celebrates our diversity and welcomes people from all traditions to come together to build community,” reads a press release about the event.
This year’s Multicultural Day features activities designed to engage all generations, including craft-making, live performances, and information booths highlighting local services.
“A family-friendly, multi-generational event with crafts and music, information on many community services and audience participation encouraged. It has something [for] everyone,” according to the press release.
Attendees are encouraged to participate in the activities, which organizers describe as a way to connect with others and learn about the community.
