THUNDER BAY – For the first time in four years, the dancers danced, the singers sang, the food was served and the crowds filled the Fort William Gardens floor, marking the return of the always popular Folklore Festival.
Co-organizer Jeanetty Jumah said it was wonderful to see so many people out and about on a rainy weekend afternoon, enjoying the culture and heritage of others, getting to know their neighbours of all different backgrounds. “I think we’ve become very insular. We don’t talk to people quite the same way and we don’t value and respect people. At Folklore, you see we’re all Canadians, we’re all good people and I hope that everyone who is socializing with people here, will actually go out tomorrow and say hello to you and be a little bit more patient with their neighbours down the street,” she said.
“It’s important to celebrate everyone’s culture and learn more about every different culture, be able to pass on those traditions through the generations and inform people about things they didn’t know about before.”
