IRAL FestThank You For Your Support In 2022!
We thought that it would be nice to give a mini recap of all the major events that we hosted so far this year!
IRAL Winter Fest
IRAL Winter Fest, a festival dedicated to showcasing the artistic talents of the minority youth was a hit in Steinbach. The community really came through to support in everyway that they could making it a really unique experience. From the snow sculptures, to the food, the entertainment, and to the igloo heated tent, it was a great time.

IRAL Colour Fest-Steinbach
Our first IRAL Colour Fest started in Steinbach all while battling the major connection outage that affected Canadians nationally. Although the systems were down, we still had a lot of fun and for those who came out, they enjoyed the event that showcased the art as well as leaving everyone a bit more colorful than they came! It was great to see the smiles on every ones faces and amazing to see the colour explosion as powder was thrown about. Once again the community really pulled through to make this an enjoyable event:
