Day of the Dead display wins award

Design Formation chair Marcela Noriega and her students have won an award for a Day of the Dead altar they created.

The Langara altar was one of three winners announced as part of a contest organized by the Consulate General of Mexico in Vancouver.

Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday that celebrates deceased loved ones.

Langara’s Day of the Dead celebration, which took place on November 2, was sponsored by Design Formation, Spanish and Latin American Studies.
