A full slate of events kicked off this month with Industrial Fabric, the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts‘ annual festival of the arts.
Drama, music and visual arts take centre stage with the festival, which started March 11 and goes until May 1.
This is the first of what will be an annual event, said Marie Balsom, communications officer for the Walker School.
