‘People meeting people’: London Multicultural Festival returns on Sunday
After a two-year hiatus, the London Multicultural Festival returns to the Covent Garden Market in London, Ont., on Sunday.
Partnering with the London Children’s Museum, the festival will hold a booth called “The Science of Sound Programming,” where children will be able to experiment with tuning forks, a resonance bowl, and other culturally inclusive instruments.Mira Noordermeer, marketing and communications coordinator for the London Children’s Museum, stressed the importance of having accessible activities and exhibits available to all children and families.
“London has become very diversified, much more than what it was 10 or 20 years ago,” Malkin said. “The local ethnic communities that are so proud of their culture and heritage, they’re so happy about every opportunity that they have to showcase it and talk to people from the broader community and share experiences and stories.
“In a normal year, we start planning for the June event in January. But this year, believe it or not, we started to plan at the end of March,” Malkin said.“But the community and the volunteers stepped up to the plate willing to do it, and we are in very good shape now.” On June 6, 2021, the Afzaal family was out for a walk when they were struck by a man in a pickup truck on the corner of Hyde Park Road and South Carriage Road.
Marking the anniversary of the attack last Monday, various events including a prayer service and public vigil was organized for the London community to honour the Afzaal family.
