This event held December 5, brought together over 400 attendees including representatives from Embassies and High Commissions accredited to Canada, to celebrate the rich cultural diversity and culinary traditions of the participant countries.
The High Commission of Sri Lanka showcased the country’s distinctive and delectable cuisine, offering attendees an authentic taste of traditional dishes, and served refreshing Sri Lankan tea.
The opportunity was utilised as a platform not only to celebrate Sri Lankan gastronomy, but also to promote the country as an attractive tourist destination. Promotional materials and brochures highlighting Sri Lanka’s natural beauty, cultural heritage and historical landmarks aimed at inspiring attendees to explore the country’s many attractions were displayed at the event.
