Annual Favourite Motif Part of City’s Rich Multicultural Heritage

Motif, the city’s annual multicultural festival, has been entertaining residents and visitors for decades. Motif is a popular three-day event

held in the beautiful surroundings of Happy Valley Park. Throughout the weekend, guests can enjoy different ethnic dishes and take in a wide range of cultural performances. There are also youth activities and handmade items for sale. Local groups like the Caribbean Association, the Filipino Community of Moose Jaw, Moose Jaw Jamaican Society, Mother of Af-

rica, Taste of Lebanon and others traditionally take part. It is one of the highlights of the summer in Moose Jaw and thousands of people attend every year. Unfortunately, because of COV-

ID-19, this year’s festival — scheduled for July 10-12 — will not likely be going ahead. Stay up to date with the latest information through the festival’s Facebook page or through motiffestival.com. Motif is just part of the city’s rich multicultural heritage. Those unfamiliar with the city might be

surprised to know that Motif first began over 40 years ago. And, of course, the Moose Jaw Multicultural Centre and its Newcomer Welcome Centre work tirelessly throughout the year to help anyone new to Canada feel at home. You can rest assured; Motif will

return, bigger and better than ever. In the meantime, the Moose Jaw Multicultural Council will continue to work behind the scenes to enrich our community.
