Culture Days is a local, provincial and national celebration of culture that aims to increase the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in Cultural activities in their communities. It includes all areas of culture: arts, heritage, multicultural, ethno-cultural, First Nations, Metis cultures and creative industries.
There is no charge to participate. This event is happening to give our local arts, culture and heritage groups and individual artists in the community a chance to promote what they offer and a chance for the general public to participate.
