Welcome
from the Minister
It is my pleasure to present the National Multicultural Festival 2010 a rich and vibrant celebration of the ACT’s cultural diversity.
During the weekend of February 5–7 the city centre will be transformed into one of the biggest stages in Australia, drawing performers and visitors from across the nation and globe.
The festival remains squarely a ‘grassroots’ event, driven by the enthusiastic support it receives from Canberra’s multicultural communities. Many thousands of people from across the city are involved in its preparation individuals, groups, the diplomatic corps and volunteers.
My sincere thanks to all these people and to the festival sponsors who support the ACT Government in staging this marvellous celebration of inclusiveness, unity, harmony and goodwill.
Enjoy!
Joy Burch MLA
ACT Minister for Multicultural Affairs
