WHAT: The Westman Multicultural Festival (formerly the Lieutenant Governor’s Winter Festival) is hosting two information sessions for individuals or groups who are interested in hosting a pavilion during the 2018 Westman Multicultural Festival. WHEN: Monday, October 16 AND Monday, October 23 7:00 p.m. *Those planning on attending only need to attend one session. WHERE: Westman Immigrant Services 1001 Pacific Avenue The Westman Multicultural Festival will be held February 1-3, 2018. The society recently reconvened to begin planning next year’s event, which will mark the 15th anniversary. Over the years, Westman residents have become accustomed to celebrating the broad cultural diversity within our community as they visit the various host pavilions at locations throughout the city. This signature event in Brandon has become a welcome winter respite as festival goers enjoy warm friendship, food, beverages, entertainment, art and customs from around the world. We look forward to sharing information with groups or individuals who may be interested in starting a new pavilion or reviving one that was part of the festival in the past.

The Brandon Police Service Monster Mash Committee is currently planning the annual event which takes place on Tuesday, October 31, 2017, at the Keystone Centre UCT Pavilion Room. The event runs from 6:30 to 11:00 p.m. for students of the Brandon School Division Grades 7 to 12. Students must provide their BSD Student ID. All students must check their coats and bags/backpacks. No alcohol or anyone smelling of alcohol will be allowed inside. There will be mandatory pat-down security checks upon entering the event. Once you leave the UCT Pavilion Room, you can't come back inside. The event provides students with a safe, fun and free place to gather who may otherwise be on the streets. Since inception, incidents of vandalism in Brandon have significantly been reduced.  Over 30 volunteers make the event possible and sponsorship from community businesses are the key to the success of the event! Food, music, games, and prizes are just a few things that create a fun and festive evening of enjoyment for all involved. However, it is only through the generous financial support of the Brandon Business Community and through volunteers that the event remains a success.
