Today is World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. On this day, we celebrate the many cultures, languages, and traditions that make our communities strong. We learn from each other, share our stories, and show respect for our different backgrounds.
There are many simple ways to take part. You can try a food from another culture, listen to music from around the world, learn a greeting in a new language, or share something special from your own culture.
How do you plan to celebrate today?

Our LINC 3 – 8 students had a wonderful experience at the Creative HeARTS workshop earlier in April at Place des Arts. The workshop was led by instructor Maggie C. and arranged with care by Kim C., Exhibits and Events Manager at PdA.
It was a privilege for our LINC students to be invited to take part in this partnership. We are grateful to Place des Arts for making this meaningful art workshop possible.
Our students shared many thoughtful reflections about their experience:
“The Field trip was interesting. I learned new things with Maggie C.”
“I had a new experience through the art activity. I’d like to go again with my children.”
“I enjoyed the experience with different colours we can observe in nature. I liked learning how to breathe in and out by drawing or creating lines."
Thank you to Place des Arts, Maggie, and Kim for creating such a memorable day of learning, creativity, and connection.

You can learn more, explore activities, and find helpful resources on the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) website:

Earlier this year, some of our LINC students spent time at Zone Bowling, and for many of them, it was their first time ever trying bowling. The mix of curiosity, laughter, and shared encouragement made the outing memorable for everyone.
One student mentioned that this was the first time in her life she had ever bowled, and we were able to capture that moment on video. It was a simple milestone that meant a lot to the group and added a special highlight to the day.
Experiences like this remind us how meaningful it can be to step into something new together.
