Destellos de Paz

VLACC is excited to bring back “Destellos de Paz”, a fun community event in Spanish created to bring together families with children ages 3 to 8 to celebrate the spirit and culture of Latin American Christmas traditions.

The event will feature engaging activities such as crafts, puppet theatre, games, music, and delicious food. Through these experiences, we aim to promote the essential values of the holiday season and share beloved traditions from across Latin America.

Please make sure to reserve a ticket for each child attending the event. There’s no need to register adults. Limited to 2 adults per family.

About the Facilitators

Ana Lorena Perez moved from Ecuador to Canada in 2014, bringing with her an academic background in family therapy and educational counselling. Shortly after arriving, she became actively involved in community programs that support Spanish-speaking families with young children, first as a volunteer and later as a staff member. Through this work, she discovered a passion for children’s music, puppetry, and sharing Latin American culture.

In 2022, she honed her skills as a puppeteer with the support of Neworld Theatre. In 2023, Ana took the stage as one of the puppeteers for the show Division Infinity Saves The World (Neworld), blending her love for art with her commitment to community engagement.
