Today, the Fiji delegation, as part of the Fiji North-America Business Mission, visited the Fiji park in Brampton City, Ontario, Canada.

 This historic occasion marked a significant moment of connection and camaraderie between Fiji and Canada.

 Welcoming the delegation, Fiji Association of Ontario, Trustee - Sam Basra provided a history of the park, highlighting its distinction as the only park named after "Fiji" situated outside of the country.

With a recent renovation value of $440,000, the park stands as a symbol of cultural exchange and community accessibility within Brampton.

 During the visit, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Cooperatives, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, and Communications, Hon. Manoa Kamikamica, planted a maple tree, a gesture rich in symbolism. The maple tree embodies resilience and strength, reflecting the enduring bond between Fiji and Canada.

"This visit to the Fiji park in Brampton is a historic moment, reminding us of home in a small yet profound way. We are honored and pleased to be part of this celebration, cherishing the fond memories we will take back home,” mentioned Hon. Kamikamica.

 The delegation expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the warm welcome received at the park, emphasizing the significance of the visit as a testament to the enduring friendship between Fiji and Canada.

Meanwhile, the Fiji North-America Business Mission is a collaboration between Investment Fiji, Ministry of Trade, Cooperatives, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Communications and Fiji Trade Commission North America.

Led by Hon. Kamikamica, the delegation met with the diaspora community last evening, offering valuable perspectives on investment prospects and incentives in Fiji tailored for diaspora investors. Tomorrow, the team is scheduled to participate in the Business Forum.
