Russian pavilion shut out of Edmonton Heritage Festival due to safety concerns, threats

This makes me so fucking mad. My stomach is turning and I am livid.

How Dare this organization punish Canadian Russian Descendents and Russian Immigrants for the actions of a government that is not HERE!! That has no control here! Fascism is not Russian heritage.

The Russian people are poisoned and hurting and you want to ostracize and discriminate against them?

I understand new Ukrainians fleeing the war are here and newly safe. But they cannot exert the control here that Russia is attempting over them!!

This is unjust and I personally would stand proud in defence of all pavillions as a citizen of Canada and the Salt River First Nation.

I am absolutely ashamed of this organizations stance to not support the PEOPLE.

You are choosing to give in to terrorism and fear mongering. You are punishing inocent people for crimes they have NO hand in!

This is horrifying....

I urge you to reconsider and instead make better efforts to protect the people in attendance. Make a show of unity in Canada and not give in to "All Russia Bad" mentalities like the Muslim community faced!

This needs to stop happening!

Heritage Festival '23

Omg... Tumblr changed post-creating format. .. =/ not that I am opposed to change but this is annoying. IYKYK -.-"

Anyway, it has been several yrs since Ive gone to Heritage Festival. It's probably my annual favourite event even though it's outdoors AND it's during the hot summer season lol

The location of the event was at Borden Park / Expo Centre since Hawrelak Park is under renovations (until 2025?). I think parking is definitely better but the area is smaller, & I also kind of miss the all-grass situation. Part of the pavilions were on the parking lot & it got really hot.

The line ups were insane when I went so despite having 5 items on my list to eat, I only 3...... it was too hot too! >.< couldn't do it!

The satay beef skewer from Malaysia/Singapore ($7 for 3).

Sad sad saaaaaad . .. I didn't understand bcos they had a long line but they also had these pre-cooked & .. ?!?! By the time I got to the front & ordered, I knew these were already ready. But they didn't keep it warm/hot. These skewers, which is something I always get, were cold & dry =( such a let down!

Saffron & pistachio ice cream from Iran ($6).

This was recommended to me by my friend; it's her must-eat item from Heritage Festival so I decided to try it. It was. .. alright. I've never had anything saffron before so I'm not sure what it's supposed to taste like. Apparently, it was a 'subtle & floral flavour'. lol okay. .. also can't relate. This was basically just a pistachio ice cream for me. But it was tasty!

Elephant ear from Croatia ($6).

The 'CLASSIC' :P

So yeah. .. we didn't spend that much time there. Majority of the time was spent in line -.-" They gotta figure something out for next yr. I wonder if it has to do with the no-ticket system. In previous yrs, visitors buy tickets using cash/debit/credit, & you 'pay' for the food using the tickets. But this yr, every pavilion is different. Some take cash, some don't. Most have machine for debit/credit. I think this is the reason why the food lines took so long.. .

Anyway, until next time~

PS: Yes, I'm working on my monthly post >.<

"We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Garifuna International Indigenous Film Festival (GIIFF) on November 9th-November 12th, 2023, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to supporting and preserving the Garifuna nation and all indigenous cultures being held at the Electric Lodge located in Venice, California.

This unique film festival will create a platform for filmmakers, artists, and community leaders/members to showcase their works while emphasizing the importance of cultural diversity and representation. The Garifuna people, originating from the Caribbean Island of St. Vincent, possess a rich tradition and enduring heritage that deserves global recognition. The Garifuna International Indigenous Film Festival aims to bring this vibrant culture to the forefront and shed light on the struggles and triumphs of the Garifuna nation and other indigenous communities worldwide.

The underlying objective of GIIFF is to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of indigenous traditions, values, and stories. Through the power of film, GIIFF aims to bridge gaps, foster dialogue, and debunk stereotypes surrounding indigenous cultures.

This multidisciplinary approach will not only provide a unique experience for audiences, but it will also contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage for future generations.

GIIFF will feature a diverse selection of thought provoking-international films, documentaries, workshops, cultural presentations, and short films that center around indigenous cultures. The festival strives to create an inclusive space, where filmmakers and artists can engage with industry leaders, intellectuals, and audiences who share a passion for the sense of community and collaboration, encouraging meaningful conversations and connections.

This inclusive space not only allows industry leaders and intellectuals to engage with these powerful stories but also invites audiences from all walks of life to immerse themselves in the beauty and diversity of indigenous cultures. The GIIFF is more than just a film festival; it is a celebration of heritage, resilience, and the power of storytelling."
