Morinville is located within the Edmonton, AB Metropolitan Region, approximately 34 kilometers north of the City along Highway 2. With population around 10, 000, multiculturalism is perhaps just in the beginning.
The booths included introduction to Islam display, Trivia: answer a question about Islam and win a prize, Try a Hijab Demo, Henna Booth and Multiculturalism.
More than two dozen people visited stalls.
Special thanks to Alliah (Public service Librarian at the Morinville Library) and her entire team; Julia, Jaeda, Margaret, Shelley, Ginger, Amy, Beth and Adara for their cooperation and support.
