International Day

St. Mary's Academy's Parents’ Guild is thrilled to host the 50th Anniversary of International Day.

First held in 1975, International Day was created by the Parents’ Guild (then called the Mothers’ Guild) to bring the SMA community together in celebration of the rich cultural diversity of our families. Fifty years later, the event remains a cherished tradition that is filled with the vibrancy of many wonderful cultures, and continues to offer a meaningful opportunity to build community. 

This year, International Day coincides with Game 4 of the Winnipeg Jets’ first-round playoff series. To ensure guests can enjoy both our event and the game, we’ll be streaming the game on two large screens in the cafeteria. People can enjoy the food and festivities of International Day while cheering on the Jets.
