Airdrie’s inaugural Taste of Nations was a perfect celebration of culture, community and connection, and colleagues from our rural outpost, Rocky View Immigrant Services (RVIS), were delighted to have participated in the amazing Welcoming Airdrie cultural extravaganza.
The warm, welcoming and entertaining atmosphere won the hearts of the community, as everyone enjoyed a delightful medley of dance, music and food.
Also there to take in all the colorful performances and savour the delicious cuisines from all over the world were distinguished members of the City of Airdrie, including MP Blake Richards, MLA Angela Pitt, MLA Peter Guthrie, Councillor Heather Spearman and Councillor Tina Petrow.
