The students from Y Settlement Services are planning a Cultural Fair to be held at the Saint John Free Public Library on Friday, February 3. Students representing over 10 countries are preparing demonstrations, displays and dances to share aspects of their culture with the community.

Interactive displays will be set up in the main lobby of the library from 11:00 am until 2:00 pm. During the same time frame, performances will be held in the Multimedia Room of the library featuring music, dance and stories from each country. Students are representing the following countries: Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, Morocco, Uzbekistan, Russia, Ukraine, Korea, China, Vietnam and Somalia.

Admission is free. We hope you can attend.

Your new Saint John Family YMCA will include a gymnasium, walking track, fitness centre, fitness area, 25-metre leisure pool, preschool centre, daycare area, after-school rooms, classrooms, computer lab, administration space and a café.

"We are very thankful to the Province of New Brunswick for transferring the land for the future site of our Saint John Y, and for providing the funds so we can begin the important design work phase," said Shilo Boucher, acting Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited about the new location and the opportunity to build a fully-accessible facility that will meet the current and future needs of the community."
