“A New Journey” was the theme for 2009 TELUS TAIWANfest. This 20-year-old festival not only celebrated the milestone with the “wedding-inspired” theme, it also took on a new vision that expanded the artistic mandate, engaged diverse communities and committed to the environment for the festival’s present and the future. As the largest English/Mandarin bilingual festival in Canada, TELUS TAIWANfest prided itself on three initiatives for 2009, demonstrating leadership for festivals in the area of Social Responsibilities.
