WINNIPEG — August 14, 2026 — Winnipeg’s Chinese community joined PAKFEST 2026 at Bridgwater Lakes Park, sharing Chinese cultural traditions and community activities as part of the celebration of Pakistani culture and heritage.

The Winnipeg Chinese Seniors Association (WCSA) participated as a community sponsor, with volunteers supporting the event through cultural performance and family activities.

A highlight of the evening was a performance by the Winnipeg Chinese Dragon Dance Team. The colourful dragon drew a large crowd as it moved through the festival grounds, with spectators cheering, taking photos and gathering around after the performance.

One memorable moment came when a father lifted his young child toward the dragon’s head, allowing the child to reach out and touch it — a simple but meaningful example of cultural connection.

Chinese community participation extended beyond the performance. At the WCSA booth, volunteers offered balloon twisting and face painting, welcoming children and families throughout the event. The activities created an easy and friendly space for people from different backgrounds to meet, talk and enjoy the celebration together.

PAKFEST also featured Pakistani cultural performances, family activities and community displays, creating a lively celebration of heritage and identity.

The event reflected the spirit of multicultural Winnipeg: communities celebrating their own traditions while also welcoming others to participate, learn and connect.

For Winnipeg’s Chinese community, PAKFEST offered an opportunity not only to share Chinese culture, but also to celebrate friendship and community across cultural backgrounds.

舞动中华龙，共叙中巴情
——温尼伯中华舞龙队受邀参加巴基斯坦社区活动

8月14日，温尼伯中华舞龙队受邀参加当地巴基斯坦社区举办的文化活动，为现场观众带来了一场精彩的中华舞龙表演。伴随着欢快的音乐，中华巨龙腾跃翻飞，吸引了众多观众驻足观看，成为活动现场一道亮丽的中华文化风景线。

为了此次演出，舞龙队进行了认真而充分的排练。演出当天，全体队员以饱满的精神状态和最佳的表演姿态投入其中。随着表演节奏不断推进，巨龙从低姿缓缓游动，逐渐进入高潮，高高腾起的龙身上下翻飞、蜿蜒起伏，时而组成 “W”“中”“M”“万水千山”“金宝瓶” 等富有寓意的造型，展现出中华舞龙独特的艺术魅力。

精彩的表演不断引来场外观众的阵阵惊呼和热烈掌声。演出结束后，热情并没有随音乐停止而散去。舞龙队退场后，仍被热情的观众团团围住，大家纷纷要求与中华龙合影留念。

有一家人共同上阵，有父亲抱着孩子与龙头合影，有年轻情侣与巨龙留下纪念，也有亲朋好友结伴与中华龙合影。面对大家的热情，队员们一一耐心配合，尽可能满足每一位观众的合影请求。

这一幕令人动容。人们或许来自不同的国家、拥有不同的文化背景，但面对这条象征吉祥、力量与团结的中华龙时，却产生了共同的喜爱与共鸣。一条龙，连接起不同文化；一次合影，留下了一份跨越文化的美好记忆。

活动中，华裔省议员 Jennifer Chen 也特别谈到了中巴之间长期以来的友好关系，并表示两国人民彼此亲切地称为“兄弟”。今天的舞龙表演，正是这种民间友好关系在加拿大多元文化环境中的生动体现。

更加令人感动的是，舞龙队已经离开演出场地，在返回途中仍不断有巴基斯坦朋友热情地向队员们打招呼，称赞演出“太精彩了”，甚至用中文向我们说出“谢谢”。

一句“谢谢”，虽然简单，却格外温暖。

在多元文化的加拿大，不同族裔相互了解、相互欣赏，也让中巴两国人民之间的友谊有了更加丰富而鲜活的表达。中华龙舞到哪里，友谊就延伸到哪里；文化交流走得越近，人与人之间的心也就越近。

舞的是中华龙，传递的是中华文化；留下的是精彩瞬间，凝聚的是中巴友谊。

这场别开生面的文化交流，不仅让巴基斯坦社区的朋友近距离感受了中华舞龙的魅力，也让我们更加真切地感受到：在加拿大这片多元文化的土地上，中巴友谊正在民间交流中不断延续、发扬光大。

愿友谊长存，愿文化相融，愿中巴人民的兄弟情谊在加拿大这片土地上绽放出更加绚丽的花朵！

从种子到餐桌——零基础家庭园艺项目启动 (From Seed to Table: Beginner Home Gardening Project Launch)
7月20日晚，华协（WCSA）主办的“从种子到餐桌：零基础家庭园艺讲座 (From Seed to Table: Beginner Home Gardening Seminar)”，启动了“华协新手家庭种植项目 (WCSA Beginner Home Gardening Project)”。共有25位朋友齐聚一堂，在轻松愉快的氛围中开启了家庭种植的探索之旅。

本次讲座由华协园艺俱乐部群主 Yan Cong 主讲。讲座不仅分享了多年积攒的实用经验，更传递了一种理念：真实的园艺充满变数，但看到微小的种子破土而出，变成餐桌上的安心美食，这种创造生命的成就感是超市里买不到的。我们不仅是在种菜，更是在收获身心健康，结交社区中热爱生活、内心柔软的知心挚友。

本项目获得温尼伯市政府专项资金 (City of Winnipeg Community Grants) 以及加拿大联邦政府长者项目 (New Horizons for Seniors Program, NHSP) 的支持，共同推动社区的本地食物保障 (Local Food Security)，丰富大家的业余生活。因项目位置有限，本次讲座义工优先报名。

8月份，园艺俱乐部将组织实地导览活动，前往The Leaf的厨房花园 (The Leaf Kitchen Garden) 参观交流；9月份，我们还将举办面向公众的“种子收集与食物保存进阶讲座 (Advanced Seminar on Seed Saving and Food Preservation)”，教大家在丰收季节收集优质种子并分享处理多余蔬菜的实用技巧。

无论您是经验丰富的种植好手，还是从未碰过泥土的“零基础小白”，欢迎加入华协园艺种植群 (WCSA Gardening WeChat Group)！ 让我们一起把温尼伯的夏天变得更加绿意盎然，期待在未来的活动中见到您的身影！🌱✨

2026 Celebration Recap
Over 10,000 Residents Came Together to Celebrate Canada Day

The 5th Annual Bridgwater Canada Day Celebration brought together more than 10,000 residents and visitors on July 1, 2026, making it one of Winnipeg’s largest community Canada Day celebrations.

The celebration opened with energetic dragon and lion dances, followed by multicultural performances featuring artists from Chinese, Peruvian, Indian, Ghanaian, and many other communities. Ballet, traditional drumming, martial arts, choir performances, youth bands, Tai Chi, and cultural dance showcased the diversity that makes Canada unique.

At 12:00 noon, thousands of attendees joined together to sing O Canada, followed by the signature Canada Day Community Drumming, creating one of the day’s most memorable moments.

Beyond the stage, families enjoyed a full day of free activities. More than 200 children received face painting, over 400 children played in the bouncy castles, and hundreds participated in games, balloon twisting, the petting zoo, and interactive sponsor activities. The popular Stamp & Win Challenge encouraged visitors to explore community booths before the grand prize draw.

The event also featured food and bazaar tables, community booths, local businesses, and cultural exhibitors, creating opportunities for residents to connect while supporting local partners.

More than 200 volunteers helped make the celebration possible. Together they operated a free shuttle service with over 60 trips, distributed nearly 4,000 Canadian flags, and kept the venue clean throughout the day by collecting more than 80 bags of waste.

Now in its fifth year, the Bridgwater Canada Day Celebration has grown into one of Winnipeg’s most recognized community Canada Day events—bringing together government, businesses, community organizations, volunteers, and thousands of residents to celebrate diversity, friendship, and Canadian pride.
