The cultural mix

 I love Tamarac. It's such a fun city with a warm culture.

One Love is the unofficial Jamaican motto.

Today we seniors had a program called 'the cultural mix' where we celebrated our diverse cultures using food, fashion and dance.

It sure was fun.

Norma and I 

Jasmine

Edith


A variety of desserts

These are candle holders used in Hannukah

Jamaican flag big and bold


Ecuador flag

Venezuelan flags aplenty 

Joan, a super volunteer

Phyllis is 93 but rarely misses an event!

Eric

There was also a good selection of dishes from various countries, all brought by the attendees.

Curried chicken


Roti


Colombian potatoes?


Rice and peas


A Jamaican favorite, turned cornmeal aka polenta

Then it was time to demonstrate the dances from various countries..

Colombian rhythm.


         Puerto Ricans demonstrate their moves.

       Everyone got up for Bob Marley!

Exotic Latin moves.

A Honduran lady kept her flag throughout!

Maria from Ecuador sure knows her thing!

Yup. We have a wide representation of people from all over the world.


And it's peaceful coexistence.

Tamarac is in reality the city of your dreams.
