The Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre is proud to partner with this locally-run community group.

HOPE (Hearts Open for Everyone), located in Elmira, Ontario, is dedicated to fostering knowledge and awareness of diverse cultures. Through our programs, we aim to empower the Elmira community and its surroundings, encouraging advocacy and informed decision-making to promote racial equity.

The Multicultural Festival of Elmira (MFE) significantly contributes to the enrichment of our community's understanding and appreciation of its culturally diverse population. This event serves as a welcoming space for newcomers in the Waterloo Region, spotlighting various ethnic groups and providing a platform for diversity and inclusion-related workshops, services and vendors. The overarching goal is to cultivate a compassionate environment where every individual experiences a profound sense of belonging.

Your sponsorship or donation will play a pivotal role in making our programs a resounding success, fostering unity, understanding, and a celebration of diversity within our community. Join us in creating an impactful and memorable experience for all attendees.
