Hello! We're a group of youth from Riverton and surrounding neighbourhoods within Canning that aim to make a positive difference in our local area by offering service to the community and creating opportunities to bring people together. The Baha'i teachings place an emphasis on service to the community as a fundamental aspect of both individual growth and the betterment of society:
“The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.”
The activities at the Family Festival are inspired by the Baha'i teachings, are inclusive and welcoming of all communities and faiths, and have been designed with the aim to bring our diverse Canning community together for some wholesome family fun and community connection.
The Festival has been designed with families in mind!
Youth-led programs will be available for children ages 5-11 and junior youth aged 12-15.
Activities will focus on qualities of cooperation, inclusivity, and unity building through the expression of arts & crafts, story telling, games, and sport for all ages and abilities.
Parents also have the opportunity to participate in parenting specific workshops led by experienced facilitators based on themes such as 'The Power of Language', and 'Encouraging Positive Behaviour'.
(Toddlers under the age of 5 will need to be accompanied at all times by a parent or guardian. Playground equipment will be available for use).
That said, please join us for this community-run initiative to help us build a Vibrant Community in Canning!
