Historic Building and Trinity United Church

Victoria Park: Part of the purpose was to serve as a way to "celebrate the stories of this historic building in downtown Kitchener, and the community it has served for a century and more." The following year this festival of was presented in conjunction with the K-W Multicultural Festival in Victoria Park on the weekend before Canada Day, according to The Waterloo Record. This proved to be a winning combination. After a long gestation period, the event was first held in 2006 as part of the 100th anniversary of Trinity United Church. The theme — "tales from around the world" told through spoken word, music, dance, drama and visual art — was compatible with the region premier celebration of diversity. Latitudes regulars could find their way to the special storytelling programming, while others from among the many thousands attracted to sounds, smells and flavours of the K-W Multicultural Festival came upon it by chance as they made through the park over the course of the weekend. It also helped build an audience. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
