The Town of Renfrew hosted the County’s first Cultural Exchange event which was a massive success in showcasing the region’s diversity. The event saw different vendors from Jamaica, India, Taiwan, Thailand, Pakistan, Chile and Indigenous Canada. Each bringing with them a unique piece of their own culture and the opportunity for the community to celebrate diversity in the region.
“There’s an importance in making sure that those who don’t look like the majority of us in the Ottawa Valley can see themselves in our communities,” said Kate Monahan, one of the event’s organizers.
