The “Up-Close-And-Personal: Village Connections” initiative promotes increased cross-cultural and intercultural connections among ethnocultural groups across Alberta, fostering a sense of unity and belonging. It also cultivates a deeper understanding and appreciation for the diverse cultures and differences in Alberta, contributing to a more inclusive and welcoming environment. 

On August 17th and 24th 2024, we came together to celebrate our cultures. We shared stories, cultural foods, had panel discussions and had fun sharing together.

This program is sponsored by the Government of Alberta.
