A Shared Stage for Culture, Community, and Opportunity: Robertson College Joins as Presenting Sponsor of the 2025 Edmonton Heritage Festival

This summer, culture takes center stage—and so does community. Robertson College is proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of the 2025 Edmonton Heritage Festival, one of Canada’s largest and most vibrant celebrations of multiculturalism. From August 2–4, 2025 at the Edmonton Exhibition Lands & Borden Park, more than 68 cultural groups will come together to share their traditions through dance, music, food, and art. 

The festival celebrates a diverse array of food, arts & crafts, and culture, creating an immersive experience that invites visitors to explore, connect, and take part in a shared celebration of global traditions. As a career college rooted in diversity, accessibility, and community empowerment, Robertson’s partnership reflects more than sponsorship—it’s a celebration of values in action.

“We are excited to welcome Robertson College to the festival,” said Bruce Hogle, EHFA Board President. “Their commitment to empowering learners and fostering inclusive, diverse communities, Robertson’s values strongly align with our mission to celebrate multiculturalism and unity which is the heart of this festival.”

“Being the title sponsor of this year’s Heritage Festival is a natural extension of Robertson College’s values. We’re passionate about uplifting diverse voices and creating pathways to opportunity. This partnership allows us to champion both learning and cultural pride on a public stage—because shaping a stronger Alberta begins with showing up for the communities we serve.” – Bill Ciprick, CEO Robertson College.
