Come out and support your young and brave local entrepreneurs. The Children's Business Fair is a charitable event that provides an opportunity for children to explore their creativity and experience the thrill and learning curves of starting a business for free. The goal of the business fair is to provide a practical learning opportunity for kids on innovation, literacy skills, research, organizational skills, and basic economics. Through the business fair, kids are encouraged to develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace. Children are responsible for their own marketing, inviting their friends and family, setting up their booth, and promoting their products on that day.

🌸 Filipino Heritage Month: Flower Festival 2025 🌸
Celebrating Culture, Beauty, and Community in Bloom

June is Filipino Heritage Month in Canada — a time to honor and celebrate the rich culture, traditions, and contributions of the Filipino community. This year, we're proud to launch our Flower Festival, inspired by the beloved Flores de Mayo celebrated back home in the Philippines.

Though traditionally held at the end of May in the Philippines, we bring this tradition to Canada in June — a month where we celebrate who we are, where we come from, and the vibrant spirit we carry with us.

🎉 What to Expect:
We have 23 lovely girls and ladies who will shine as festival princesses, each dressed in elegant gowns and tiaras, parading proudly with flower-adorned arcs assigned to them. These floral arcs will be displayed in front of the bandshell circle in the park — perfect for selfies, family photos, and Instagram-worthy shots!

✨ Highlights of the Day:

• 🌹 Princess Parade & Fashion Show
• 💃 Traditional Filipino Dances
• 🎶 Singing and Cultural Performances
• 🍜 Asian Food Fair
• 🕺 Community Dance Sessions – everyone’s welcome to join!

Filipinos are known for our love of performance, culture, and community — and this event is our joyful way of sharing that spirit with everyone. Whether you’re Filipino or simply curious, come and experience the beauty, rhythm, and flavors of the Philippines right here in Canada!

📍 Location: Bandshell Circle, [Lamoureux Park]
📅 Date: [June 7]
⏰ Time: [Food vendors available by 11am event starts at 1pm]
