Our Core Communities Shine
Our Core Communities Shine is an annual celebration of the wealth of good work happening within our core neighbourhoods.
This community celebration brings together core neighbourhood residents, organizations, and artists with people from other parts of the city. It provides a venue for community artists to market their work and for local performers to showcase their talent. It breaks down stereotypes and reinforces that our core communities really do shine!
Originally a concept of Quint's Board of Directors, there are now many community associations, groups, and organizations that work together every year to host this celebration.
