The Castlegar Refugee Project held its International Culture Festival on Monday at the Castlegar Complex and raised $650.
The event featured dozens of booths where families and students shared their culture, including foods, art and dress. There were also performances throughout the day.
Combined with the $1,350 raised through the International Talent Showcase on Friday, the Castlegar Refugee Project (CaRE) raised $2,000 over the weekend to help support another refugee family coming to Castlegar.
CaRE is currently looking for recruits for a new committee and found some interested individuals at the festival.
Anyone interested in being part of the committee should contact Rosemary Manarin at rose_manarin@hotmail.com or Elizabeth Huether at revelizabeth.huether@gmail.com.
