Mr. Speaker, GlobalFest is a very popular summer event held in my riding of Calgary East. I am delighted to announce that this summer GlobalFest will celebrate its 10th anniversary.
GlobalFest celebrates Calgary's cultural diversity and artistic excellence, with six nights of multicultural festivities and spectacular international fireworks. Each night features a different country's display.
This event is unique in the world and offers an inclusive cultural experience meant to promote engagement and understanding in the community.
Every year, over 100,000 people attend this event. This year, GlobalFest will be held from August 16 to 26.
I want to congratulate all those who have been involved in bringing us this fantastic event in the past 10 years. I wish them the best of luck for GlobalFest 2012.
Finally, I invite all members of the House and all Canadians to visit Calgary this summer to experience GlobalFest.
