Contributing To An Inclusive Canada
La BaskUp contributes to an inclusive Canada by fostering an environment that celebrates diversity, promotes unity, and encourages active participation from all community members, especially the youth. By highlighting cultural diversity through culinary festivals and cultural performances, the event breaks down barriers and promotes mutual respect and understanding among different cultural groups.
