What Does "One for All" Mean to You?

June 30, 2022


For the past week and a half, Saint John and the Towns by the Bay have come together in support of our Saint John Sea Dogs as they achieved victory in the 2022 Memorial Cup. Although many of the celebrations took place within the rink, they also expanded across the City, with daily concerts at Bash on the Bay, full-day activities at Fan Fest, a week-long Ball Hockey Tournament, and a variety of training sessions led by hockey professionals. These celebrations also spread into the streets with the creation of the One for All District.

The One for All District transformed the uptown core of Saint John into a hub of family-friendly activities that celebrated the diversity of the city. With a new theme each night, visitors and residents of the region were able to be immersed in new cultures, traditions, and activities and experience firsthand what it means to be "one for all".

The District held events showcasing youth, families, the LGBTQ2+ community, the Francophone community, the maritime community, and the multicultural community. To understand better what the theme of "One for All" has meant to these communities, we spoke to a few of the key partners that made some of the events possible:

Learn more about what "One for All" means to community partners like Chroma NB and the Saint John Newcomers Centre, as well as local drag queen, Normani.
