Statement from the Prime Minister of Canada
It is with great pleasure that I congratulate the Spice Island Cultural Day Association of Québec on the fifth anniversary of the Spice Island Cultural Festival .
It is remarkable what you have been able to accomplish during such a challenging time for many Canadians .
The theme of this year ’ s festival “ Grenada ! – A Culinary Delight ” honours Grenada ’ s designation by the World Food Travel Association as the world ’ s first “ Culinary Capital ” alongside its sister islands Carriacou and Petite Martinique .
By acting collaboratively , intelligently , and creatively , you have established a cultural festival that will bring together members of Grenada ’ s diaspora community from across Canada and beyond .
You should all be very proud of your efforts . Your inclusivity and assiduousness will allow Canadians to learn more about Grenada and all it has to offer the world .
The COVID-19 pandemic has made planning and hosting events like this especially difficult , and I would like to thank the Spice Island Cultural Day Association of Québec , along with their partners at the Grenada Culinary Network , for making this event possible .
Please accept my warmest welcome and best wishes for a successful and memorable Spice Island Cultural Festival .
