Promoting Healthy Living: A Multicultural Health Fair on February 23 at the Croatian Cultural Centre (3250 Commercial Drive) aims to encourage a hale and hearty lifestyle among B.C.'s multicultural communities. There'll be more than 40 exhibitors and health information in eight languages, plus live entertainment, multicultural cooking demonstrations, a children's activities corner, as well as raffles and prizes.

The largest multicultural fair in Canada, the event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is hosted by The Affiliation of Multicultural Societies & Service Agencies of BC.

"Canada receives more than 200,000 immigrants each year," said Emese Szucs, AMSSA president in a media release. "We need to ensure that these new immigrants as well as other new Canadians can readily access health care information and services."
