About · mission
Learn a cityby its kitchens.
A festival is how the public meets its neighbours. The organisation behind it is built to teach, and the field is where the teaching happens.
The purpose, in its formal wording.
To advance education by providing cross-cultural education to the public, and by educating the public about racial and ethnic discrimination and about positive relations among people of different ethnocultural origins.
What that means on the field.
Every pavilion teaches
An interpreted exhibition in English and French, with a theme for the year.
Workshops people can join
A cook, a maker, a language teacher: sessions a visitor takes part in.
Articles written with communities
The Cultures section, sourced from the census and open to correction by the communities it describes.
Both official languages
The site, the signs and the programme, in English and French.
