RRC Polytech celebrates the diversity of cultures represented within our community

January 30, 2023

Fred Meier, President and CEO, joined in on the Celebration of Culture with RRC Polytech’s Centre for International Education and Global Partnerships on Friday, January 27, 2023.

It was frigid outside, but it was nothing but warm inside – where hundreds gathered to celebrate the incredible cultures, languages, food and community found at RRC Polytech.

Brazilian music, Canadian hoop dancing and drumming, West African drumming and dancing, Chinese face-changing artist performing from the Chinese Sichuan Opera, and a Latin band all shared their talents providing no shortage of shoulder movements and head bobbing from the crowd.

Over six different food stations provided no lack of options when it came to trying out something new and delicious. The night ended with a dance party that took over the Voyageur Dining Room.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
