VICTORIA – New Democrat multiculturalism critic Bruce Ralston issued the following statement in honour of the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival:

“On behalf of the New Democrat caucus I’d like to recognize the B.C. communities that are celebrating the Moon Festival. Occurring each autumn, this holiday involves the gathering of friends and families and gives thanks for the summer’s harvest. I wish all British Columbians celebrating the Moon Festival a wonderful day and evening.”
