Traditional Moroccan dishes and a chance to share cultural knowledge will be on the menu Saturday in Iqaluit at a Moroccan Cultural Diversity Day celebration.
The event runs from 5 to 9 p.m. in the gymnasium at l’École des Trois-soleils. It’s hosted by Iqaluit-based francophone economic development organization Carrefour Nunavut as part of its goal of building lasting relationships between newcomers and community members .
Carrefour works to strengthen the community by hosting cultural diversity days, and selects a different country for each event.
On Saturday night, the group “will have a presentation and some food from Morocco,” said Carrefour executive director Francis Essbou.
“The event is open to anybody in Iqaliut, the goal of these events is to make a network for people.”
