Congratulations
The Essence and Culture team was out and about this summer, supporting various events. Members of the team were involved in Fusion Fest festival, that was presented by Dario Novoa and the Simple Reflections Collective, on Sat Aug 17 inside the Covent Garden Market, and was held inside because of rain. It being inside did not dampen the spirit, or the energy of the performers and the patrons.
A celebration of our cultures and identity. The Essence and Culture Awards, taking place in London Ontario, during Black History Month
