"We want to have harmonious and fostering of inclusion among all cultural groups"

Coffs Harbour's multicultural community celebrated a unique occasion on Saturday March 29. The 2025 International Food and Dance Festival (IFAD) organized by the Coast Multicultural Society (CCMS). The 2021 Census found that 15.6% of people in Coffs Harbour were foreign-born. The event commemorates Harmony Week and Refugee Day. The Yezidi community in Coffs Harbour presented two dancing groups, one of them being an all female and the other a singing group. Htun Htun Oo, the CCMS president, discusses the occasion with SBS Kurdish.
