Come listen to compelling stories by indigenous storyteller, educator and author, Kung Jaadee, who belongs to the X̱aayda (Haida), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Tlingit, Tsleil-Waututh Nations, and is also part Hawaiian.

See youth performing for youth! Get in the groove with the Sarah McLachlan School of Music and the Saint James Music Academy marimba ensembles.

Back by popular demand is Angela Brown’s Nylon Zoo where children can gather inside a huge inflatable salmon to hear a story and then dress up and follow the leader in a parade.

At the Little Folks Village, volunteers will offer a Creation Station, where kids of all ages can create cool creatures and take-home art. Visit the expanded water play zone that includes water toys, bubbles and wands!
