On February 1st, the Confucius Institute in Edmonton participated in the ECBEA Chinese New Year of the Rat Celebration at Bonnie Doon Mall. This event featured performances and cultural activities from Chinese bilingual program students at Edmonton Public Schools.
As the supporter of the Chinese language education in Edmonton Public Schools and in the community, the CIE provides strong support for the event every year. It not only brings a variety of Chinese traditional arts and crafts, but organizes the Chinese dance performance from Confucius Classrooms, sharing the rich Chinese culture and traditions with Edmontonian.
