The Eritrean Community of Toronto
filled with determination and patriotism took part in the June 20th
commemoration and remembrance of our much loved and respected Martyrs.
A walk was organized from the Piccinini community centre to
Wasdsworth park where the formal ceremony took place. Present at the
ceremony was Consul Nura Mohammed Omar who delivered a message marking
the Martyrs' Day ceremony. |

Following
the weekly Sunday soccer games by the ECAO (Eritrean Canadian
Association of Ontario) and the special Martyrs' Day BBQ by EYAC
(Eritrean Youth Association of Canada), a swarm of children dressed in
their soccer jerseys led their parents right behind both the Eritrean
and Canadian flags respectively carried by two youth dressed in
military uniform. |
|
The
ceremony was a chance not only for the adults to express their
heartfelt poems to the gathered Eritreans, but also for many Eritrean
children who were eagerly awaiting the chance to read their beautiful
and emotional poems and dedications. |
