Dear our community members,
Day after day on International Avenue, perhaps you have noticed the banners hung from the pillars, flying in the wind amidst the lampposts scattered along this bustling street?
For the locals, the beautiful images on these banners appear to be additional decorations for the avenue, but for our Vietnamese community in Calgary, these also serve to express our gratitude. Gratitude to our ancestors, to our roots, and to all of Canada. Working together with the local community, we have been blessed with many opportunities to contribute to the cultural, economic, and social development of Calgary and the country at large.
Our community’s efforts have been recognized by the Executive Director of the International Avenue BRZ and demonstrated by allowing us to hang these banners along International Ave around Little SaiGon Mall. The banners introduce to everyone the advent of the Journey to Freedom Park and Boat People Monument project. The project’s ground-breaking ceremony is scheduled for early spring 2021 and its completion for early spring 2022.
