The Ellice Street Festival is a highlight of the spring for local residents, fostering relationships and building community between residents and the various community groups operating in the West Central neighbourhood. The afternoon is one of celebration, fun and sharing, and creates an opportunity to present a more positive community image while also providing a forum for local talent.

The 2010 Ellice Street Festival is sponsored by the West End Cultural Centre, Canadian Heritage: “Building Communities through Arts and Culture Program”, Spence Neighbourhood Association “Small Grants Fund”, Assiniboine Credit Union, Andrew Swan, Rob Altemeyer and Harvey Smith.

The West End Cultural Centre would also like to thank the planning committee which includes representatives from Spence Neighbourhood Association, the West Central Women’s Resource Centre, CKUW, UWSA, the West End Biz, the offices of Andrew Swan, Rob Altemeyer and Harvey Smith, as well as, all of the organizations that provide much needed volunteers at the festival each year.
