“…this’s home, treat it like home, love it like home, and participate in it….,”
A very inspiring message from University of Alberta Professor, Temitope Oriola, at the 62nd Independence Day celebration of Sierra Leone, organized by the Sierra Leone Association of Alberta in Edmonton.
This event was a good mix of a rich message and the end of event fun party, hosted at the Sierra Leone Community Multi Purpose Centre, one of the products of the 14 points that President Dr. Abu Conteh promised when he was elected, which also includes a community van.
Professor Oriola used his keynote to call on the community to invest here in Canada, and take part in elections, especially with the Alberta elections around the corner, scheduled for May 29, 2023.
The elegant dresses of the women present were rewarded by Edmonton City Councillor, Keren Tang, with a present for the best dress, which sparked an instant fashion show.
