BANA/Rotary Host #YQG Togetherfest
BANA, the Rotary Club of Windsor-WIDE and University of Windsor have returned for a second year to bring a truly unique, multi-cultural and inclusive event to our community. This year the #YQG Togetherfest event will kick-off the spring season with an amazing, affordable “Staycation” opportunity, running April 26-27 (10AM-5PM) at the University of Windsor’s Toldo Lancer Centre (2555 College Ave).
Quite simply, the idea is a one stop shop with over 50 vendors and dozens of entertainers featuring cultural/community groups, coming together to celebrate Windsor-Essex and its diverse tapestry.
BANA Executive Director Luciana Rosu-Sieza points to their motto of Be Yourself, encouraging individuals to be authentic and proud of who they are, and to Rotary’s W.I.D.E. that reflects their core belief: We’re Inclusive, Diverse, and Equitable.
“lt is in this spirit that our two organizations have come together again, with the support of the University of Windsor, to bring a truly unique, multicultural and inclusive event to our community; and we are hoping you’ll join us.” BANA Executive Director Luciana Rosu-Sieza
