WS Organized a Culture Booth for City of Burnaby Canada Day Celebration 2023


This lucky challenger chose wine as his riddle prize

There were 3 grand Canada Day celebrations hosted by City of Burnaby on July 1, 2023:

1) One at Edmonds Plaza and Park;

2) One at Burnaby Village Museum; and

3) The StreetFest on Central - Civic Square, Central Boulevard and Central Park.


As usually, WS Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society was selected to organizing a Culture Booth for the StreetFest on Central.


Hundreds of people were lining up at WS Culture Booth for the “How Much Do You Know About Canada” riddle guessing game. The participants were thrilled when they got the answer correct, got the lucky number matching the prize, and took home any small prize we prepared in advance.

With the great support from City of Burnaby, hundreds and thousands of people across the world from various cultural background brought home not only the small prizes, but also the joy and happiness.

StreetFest on Central was featured with live music, cultural performances, food trucks, artisan vendors, child-friendly activities and more.

StreetFest on Central started at 6:30 pm and perfectly completed with dreamlike fireworks finale in Central Park at 10:15 pm. Vancouver and other cities have canceled Canada Day fireworks shows this year, glad that Burnaby’s fireworks show brought us more holiday atmosphere.
