Get to know the diversity of people that are part of our city. Learn about the diversity of cultures and ethnicities in Calgary. This year during Culture Days on Sep. 30, come out to YYC Diversity Fest at the Genesis Centre where folks can engage in understanding and learning of cultures, ethnic groups, practices and more. Enjoy over 30 interactive booths, free cultural foods, entertainment and artist showcases, as well as other learning opportunities free for all.
