Chartwell Multicultural Night

March 10, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

West Vancouver's Chartwell Elementary School has close to 260 students from 26 different nations. Last Thursday they celebrated Canadian diversity with their parent-student Multicultural Night. Students dressed in native outfits and there were lots of activities, including a silent auction to help raise money for new playground equipment and other programs. Of course, the main focus was the ethnic food which was served by parents and volunteers and was gobbled up quickly.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
