Our next leadership camps are in Spring 2025, in-person in downtown Toronto and online
Encourage diversity in fashion by coming together as a community and hosting a cultural fashion show. This project can help members of your community bond over their different cultures, while also embracing the diversity of your neighbourhood!
This is an opportunity for community members to share their cultures with one another.
This event allows people from different backgrounds to unite and celebrate other cultures, while taking pride in sharing their own.
Anyone who is interested in fashion is welcome to participate!
