The event is scheduled for June 11 at Heritage Village. Throughout the day there will be performances and food from different nations and cultures. So far this includes representatives of First Nation, Métis, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Colombia, Ethiopia, India, Lebanon, Pakistan, Philippines, Scotland, Venezuela and many more.

The event also coincides with the release of the 2021 RMWB census, which shows the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo region is becoming increasingly diverse.

About 60 per cent of people living in the region are white, down from 64 per cent in the 2018 census. The second largest ethnic group in the region is South East Asian at 7.2 per cent and South Asian is the third largest at 6.7 per cent.

About 3.2 per cent of people identified as African, followed by mixed ethnicities (2.44 per cent), Black or African Canadian (two per cent), European (1.73 per cent), Arab (1.41 per cent), Hispanic or Latin American (1.08 per cent), Caribbean (0.67 per cent) and Oceanic (0.13 per cent).

First Nation reserves were not included in the census because they fall under federal jurisdiction. But the census found seven per cent of people living in the municipality are Indigenous.

Languages and religious beliefs are surveyed by Statistics Canada and were not included in the municipal census. Surveys on languages spoken will be published by Statistics Canada on Aug. 17, while data on religious beliefs and migration will be published on Oct. 26.
