To all the people who gave their time, efforts and talents to make Unity Fest the amazing event that it was, I apprecaite you.  Not having Unity Fest in person these last few years left a hole in our community. It means so much to have it back!

I was amazed by the cultural celebration and empowerment. The dances were so beautiful and emotional. The islander dances nearly brought me to tears. It was so incredible to be a part of such a magical event. I was in awe the entire time watching the students do their cultural dances and embracing each other and loving themselves. The energy in the room was beyond compare. All of the cheering showed how strong our community it and I will forever be grateful for this experience. The students that put this event together deserve all of the recognition for putting in weeks of practice and preparation. The beauty that I saw in every one preforming dances was one of the most incredible things I have ever seen.

After I graduate next year I will be sad to go but I will come back and be a part of our unity fest community every year.

Thank you so much for such an amazing and well organized and planned night that I will remember forever.

Love,
Class of 23 student

Seeing young people celebrating their cultures was incredible. I kept thinking about how colonizers tried to outlaw Indigenous languages and dances, but they survived. It was such a powerful reminder of resistance and resilience.

This was the first time I got to see how united this school really could be. It was so special and so inspiring!

The performances were the only thing that overshadowed the delicious food. It was great to see our community come together positively in the Commons!

Can't wait until next year!

To the Ethnic Studies classes and student organizers responsible for getting this entire event off the ground: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING! You embodied what this is all about: driving out hate with love and joy and solidarity. This is what your legacy is. And it is so so powerful. In deep appreciation for all you are, all you shared, and all you accomplished.
