On November 28, 2023, as the Honorary Consul of Mauritania, Bernard Colas ensured a dignified celebration of Mauritania’s Independence Day at our offices.

This festive occasion held special significance, providing a unique opportunity to gather individuals from a variety of nations, each bringing with them a rich and diverse cultural heritage.

Indeed, this celebration was more than a mere festive occasion; it epitomized the spirit of solidarity and unity central to diversity, underscoring the significance of intercultural dialogue and cooperation among the diverse communities in Canada.

Bringing together people from different backgrounds and origins, this event symbolized the richness and vitality of cultural diversity that defines our modern society, resonating with the values we uphold in our work in international law.
