Summer is fast approaching, and that means sunshine and festival season!
No one loves festival season more than the staff and volunteers at CKUA. Festival season allows CKUA to connect with the community at numerous events that embrace and appreciate different forms of art and culture.
Festivals are a great place for people to experience new things and add to their interests. They’re a great place for non-profit organizations such as CKUA to be able to gain recognition and spread awareness of a variety of cultural networks.
CKUA loves our volunteers and their continuing support! And since a big part of our mandate is connecting with the community, we encourage our volunteers to lend a helping hand to the festivals that are coming up this summer.
We’re Looking Forward to these Festivals!
