Celebrating diversity and multiculturalism
The Prince Albert Multicultural Council (PAMC) is hosting its second Diversity Night Thursday to celebrate diversity and multiculturalism in the community.
The evening will feature a variety of culturally inspired events, including Dene culture presentations and hand games, a lesson on Irish dancing from the Ashden School of Irish dance, and a medley of Syrian and Ukrainian food.
Michelle Hassler, the acting executive-director with the PAMC, said the event was created to explore and celebrate the diversity of cultures within Prince Albert.
“Diversity Night was modelled from the Common Ground project we started two years ago, basically what it does is bridges all these different cultures together,” Hassler said. “We wanted to continue and do more multicultural and anti-racism initiatives in the community. We came up with Diversity Night in partnership with the City of Prince Albert’s Municipal Cultural Action plan.”
