WCRA supported the Cultura Festival for it’s first three years, as it established itself . Cultura is a family-friendly outdoor festival that celebrates our city’s rich diversity and presents music, art, food and fun. It is free and appropriate for all ages.

Located next to John Mackenzie house, in the heart of Willowdale Central, volunteers plant and maintain a vegetable garden. The vegetables grown are sold to the community and these sales help to purchase seeds and plants for next year.
