Toronto – On February 10th 2024, the Canada One Family Network (COFN) presented the Year

special spring festival calligraphy workshop. Local artists groups and youth groups also brought
performances and workshops to celebrate.

showcase our local artists, performers, and youth groups, and celebrate the new year together.
Thank you to Bridlewood Mall for the venue sponsorship, the 60 participating community
