CultureFest 2022

CultureFest (formerly known as Multicultural Week or MCW) at York is one of the most anticipated series of events of the year. It is a chance for students, faculty, and staff to celebrate their cultures and embrace the diversity of the York Community. This year we celebrated CultureFest from March 4th - 10th through the exchange of food, fashion, music, and tradition.

This year we decided to rebrand MCW. For years, Indigenous communities have been vocal about the many ways settler-colonial violence is masked by the idea of “multiculturalism”. In light of this, it was time to move away from multiculturalism and instead emphasize our respective cultures, which is what makes us unique and diverse.
