A Taste of Culture: what to expect
Bringing people of different races and culture together is the focus on a popular annual event this Friday and Saturday.
The Battlefords Immigration Resource Centre (BIRC) is kicking off the 10th anniversary of A Taste of Culture, an annual celebration of cultural diversity, on May 5 and 6 from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. at the Western Development Museum.
The BIRC is an organization that provides valuable information and services that assist newcomers integrating into Canadian culture, and hosts A Taste of Culture as a means of bringing everyone together regardless of cultural background.
“What we’re trying to do [at BIRC] is show people that there are other cultures here… and to try and cut some of the stigma,” said Annette McGovern, Executive Director of BIRC. “[A Taste of Culture] just kind of brings everyone together all in the same place just to have some fun.”
