The Toronto Cultural Mingle Association held a community celebration at Aurora Town Square in Aurora on March 14, 2026, to highlight its Intergenerational Dance and Cultural Wellness program. The initiative brings youth and seniors together to learn cultural dances and stay active.
The group received a $33,500 Seed grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to run the classes for six months. The funding, awarded late last year, helps cover staffing, venue, and equipment costs for the program, which aims to reduce social isolation and build community connections through movement.
MPP Dawn Gallagher Murphy visited the square to meet with the team and recognize the progress of the initiative. She noted that the program is a great way to celebrate the diversity of the community while keeping residents healthy and connected.
Organizers expect more than 200 participants from across York Region to take part in the program. The project focuses on creating a space where different generations can learn from one another through shared traditions and physical activity.
