On Saturday, July 28th AHC held it's 2nd Annual Community Talent Show. There were 278 attendees with a mosaic of music and cultural colors demonstrated by children, youth, adults and seniors. We had a line up at the Henna art table, the animal balloons table and the delicious food table donated by Safeway/ Sobeys and COBS bread.  Everyone one from staff, volunteers, participants and attendees were dancing and singing along.
