Cornwall - August 20, 2012 - This year the People's Cultural portion of the Parade of Nations (parade, cultural entertainment, silent auction, kids' entertainment and trade show) scheduled for September 15th, in Cornwall Ontario, will unfortunately be cancelled. This cancellation is the result of a lack of qualified volunteers to fill key positions all year round.
The Parade of Nations strongly believes there is unity in diversity and promotes inclusion of individuals with special needs with proceeds going to the developmentally challenged. Culture encompasses all art forms and this event gives an opportunity to promote local artists, artisans, performers, writers, businesses and groups of all kinds.
The good news is that as of last month, major key players are now working in collaboration with Parade of Nations and in October 2012 there will be another press release to convey to the public the new direction of Parade of Nations for the Developmentally Challenged.
The KiteFest portion is still scheduled for September 16, at the "Bowl" at the western end of Lamoureux Park, near the RCAF building, on Water Street, in Cornwall. The KiteFest is designed to showcase skills and celebrate the wonder of flight in a community and family setting. This event welcomes flyers at all skill levels, from beginner to expert and trophies are awarded for specific categories.
If you would like to become a volunteer or for additional details, please visit www.paradeofnations.com (website being updated) or call Marie Morrell at 613-936-6873.
