The exhibits from students were bright and colorful, and featured flags, posters with information about the countries, maps, other cultural displays and a wide array of items and interesting information to represent their country. Parents and visitors were treated to exciting entertainment from the school choir. The well organized performances by the different ethnic groups and messemirizing bollywood songs had the audience begging for more. Food stalls with mouth watering servings of specialties from all corners of the world, gave everyone the opportunity to enjoy an international meal. It was not a day of formal dressing but ethnic traditional wear hogging the limelight. Treasure Hunt for students was also held during the day.
CIS also raised funds for charity through a silent auction of different artifacts, rare collections of art and craft for the different community services and NGO’s which CIS actively supports.

Multicultural day at CIS was outstanding as always! said Shweta Sastri, Executive Director, Canadian International School.
