General Description

The Niagara Folk Arts Multicultural Centre is a not-for-profit charity organization that helps newcomers transition to life in Canada.

Multiple ethno-cultural groups are associated with this organization and there are often opportunities to experience different cultures.

They are located in the former Grantham Academy, which was the first non-denominational High School in the Niagara Peninsula. There is still evidence of its history in the architecture.
