According to Global Citizen, the games and activities were specifically designed to promote cross-cultural interaction and understanding.

There were also dance performances which featured colourful traditional attires as attendees enjoyed signature dishes from different booths.

Each dish was chosen to reflect people’s home countries and showcase the diversity that can be found in the Okanagan.
