By all accounts, a fun time was had by all, but we’ll let you be the judge!

World Refugee Day Celebrated

June 20, 2015 stephenmackay

Saint Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and the Multicultural Association of Fredericton celebrated World Refugee Day, Saturday, June 20, with a family Walk with Refugees.

As we passed by houses built by Fredericton’s first wave of refugees and their families, we stopped to hear stories about their contributions to the new community of Fredericton.

We visited the historic Old Burial Grounds before returning to the church for lemonade and ginger cookies.
