Testimonials

“It was very heartwarming to here Rosa, from Columbia, talk about her experiences coming to Canada during the 1970’s. It was cool comparing my experience to hers. I could relate to the language barrier and adapting to a new culture. I also loved visiting the CNE for the whole day. It was so cute watching the Nai Choir kids perform at the ceremony and going on all of the rides on a sunny day. I can’t wait to go again next year with “Youth in Arts”.”
