The Canada Cultural Booth at the Raleigh International Festival was a success again this year. We could not have done it without the partnership of the Consulate General of Canada in Atlanta, the sponsorship of RBC Bank and the enthusiasm and dedication of our wonderful Canadian volunteers. THANK YOU!
Another wonderful day at the International Festival. Lots of Canadians dropped by the Booth and found out about CNNC. We hope to see you at our events, new friends! Many other visitors wanted to ‘spend winter in Canada’ and get their photo taken in front of our mural. Enjoy the few pics below.
Thank you to all our volunteers who worked the booth today. Send us photos if you have any!
Here’s a brief visual recap of the activities at the Canada Booth today. Another fun day, as you can see.

Our first day at the Booth started with pomp and circumstance with the visit of Consul General of Canada Nadia Theodore and Ash Miller, Political and Economic Relations Officer. Take a look at some of the photos of this morning’s activity at the Canada Booth.
Many thanks to all our volunteers who hosted today. Please send along your photos!
Take a look at the few pics of the booth setup today. Thanks to Gary, Denise and Caroline (and a few passers-by) for getting everything ready. We even had a couple of visitors drop by to “spend winter in Canada” in front of our super mural! (We think that’s going to be popular!)
Come see us this weekend!

We’re getting ready to design the Canada Booth for the 2018 Raleigh International Festival and, while digging through some old documents, the booth coordinator found this little gem (well, she is an archaeologist!). Year 2010 was when Canada joined the many cultural groups who participate in the festival to offer the people of North Carolina a little taste of the world.
Would you like to join Team Canada and host the Canada Booth in 2018? Simply send us an email at canadabooth.cnnc (a) gmail.com and we will let you know when we start scheduling booth volunteers!
