About the Society

Our goal is to provide arts and cultural education through entertainment. The international aspect of our Festival helps teach children about life in other lands and also reflects the multicultural makeup of Canadian society. Where children are exposed to other cultural expressions, their understanding, tolerance and acceptance follows.

Our mission statement is to encourage young people to develop their interest and appreciation of worldwide arts and cultural influences and to offer them life-long learning experiences. We provide these experiences both through performances on stage, entertainment on our sites, and interactive workshops that provide a hands-on learning environment.
