“This is a much-anticipated event for ������ý every year,” says Marius Langeland, Associate Director, International Partnerships and Projects, ������ý International. “It’s an incredible opportunity for the community to experience just some of the incredible culture that Korea has to offer.”

A popular event since 2016, with a pause during the Covid pandemic, the festival has served as a platform for cultural exchange and community connections. Guests can expect a day full of good food, crafts stations, Korean games, live music and performances.

The festival is a collaboration between ������ý’s School of Arts and Science, ������ý Student Society and ������ý International with contributions and sponsorship from a variety of partners such as Hallym University in South Korea (one of ������ý’s longest standing Study Abroad partners for over 10 years), the Korean Cultural Centre in Ottawa, and the Korean Consulate of Vancouver. Food will be provided by Sushi Story.

������ý has approximately 2,100 international students, including over 30 students from Korea, adding to the cultural diversity on campus and in the classroom. ������ý also offers several Korean language courses at the level of introductory and intermediate.

Established in 1971, ������ý is one of the largest colleges in British Columbia with campuses on the territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. For over 50 years, ������ý has been delivering innovative, relevant and applied education, supporting communities, businesses and employers.
