Save room on your summer schedule for the annual Inclusion Festival at Ernie Winch Park on June 18, from noon to 4 p.m. The event is free and includes arts, crafts, games, snacks, music and dancing. This festival was started a couple of years back by a local mom, who landed one of Vancouver Foundation’s neighbourhood small grants. The event has an anti-bullying theme.

Order of St. John
Congratulations are in order for three Burnaby women who received the Order of St. John for their outstanding service to communities. The women are Ally Chan, Winnie Lai and Kristen Van Esch. The awards were handed out in Victoria on May 14. St. John Ambulance is an international humanitarian group. The three women were recognized for volunteer work within their respective brigades or divisions within the organization.
Correction: In my last column, I mentioned the annual Euro Fest, on in Burnaby May 28 and 29 at 6540 Thomas St., but the location was incorrect. Euro Fest is at Swangard Stadium in Central Park this year. Apologies for the confusion.
