This past Summer 2011 CoRDA hosted a Multicultural BBQ and family fun day. It was a great success with many attending, and volunteers from the Colchester Immigration Partnership, Colchester Next, and the NSAC International Department helping out. “Despite a grey sky that offered cool breezes and the threat of rain, those who attended the multicultural picnic at Victoria Park offered up nothing but sunny dispositions for the day’s activities.”
