Their partnership with Folklorama has been a beacon of inclusivity and a symbol of their dedication to celebrating and preserving the mosaic of cultures that call Cambrian Credit Union home.
Cambrian Credit Union is proud to support the Folklorama Ambassadors and the Ambassador General Program annually.

One such highlight for Cambrian Credit Union is the prestigious Ambassadors’ General scholarship presentation. Having been involved in selecting the deserving recipients, they feel a deep sense of pride as they witness the fruition of their efforts. Presenting the scholarships was not just an honour but a reaffirmation of their belief in the power of education and cultural exchange.
“We were honoured to be a part of the Ambassadors’ General scholarship presentation,” remarked Brigitte Burgoyne, Director of Communications and Community Engagement at Cambrian Credit Union. “It was thrilling to see how it all comes together, from the competition to the final moment of awarding the scholarships. These Ambassadors represent the best of Cambrian’s commitment to cultural diversity, and we are excited to see them shine.”
As the Festival gets closer, Cambrian Credit Union eagerly awaits the opportunity to immerse themselves once again in the sights, sounds, and flavours of Folklorama. For them, each year brings new experiences, new connections, and a renewed sense of purpose.
To the Pavilion Ambassadors of 2024, Cambrian Credit Union had a simple yet profound message: have fun and embrace the significance of your role as representatives of your Pavilion and your culture.
