Introduction:
The Cultural Threads project is an intergenerational initiative that brings immigrant elders and Canadian-born youth together to reconnect with ancestral heritage and celebrate the traditions that continue to shape our lives. Many stories, skills, and memories are carried within our elders, and this project creates opportunities to share them with younger generations in meaningful ways.
Through conversations, storytelling, recipes, and crafts, Cultural Threads builds spaces where culture can be passed on, remembered, and reimagined. These exchanges not only preserve traditions but also create bridges across generations, helping participants strengthen their sense of identity while fostering belonging within the wider community.
We are currently inviting participants from the Filipino community to join us in this journey of sharing and learning together.
