With beautiful clothing, lively music, traditional dances and the spoken word, the Smithers Multicultural Society (SMS) hosted their first event celebrating diversity and the valley’s many vibrant cultures.
SMS founding member Patricia Kolida says the intention of the society is to “encourage and empower community members to embrace and share our cultural traditions, and to hopefully enjoy and learn to respect each other.”
In this concert event filmed for viewing on Facebook, the “great mosaic of our different cultures” was on energetic and resplendent display, she said.
