Inauguration of the “Lebanese Emigration Plaza” at the Centennial Park in Victoria B.C by His Excellency Fadi Ziadeh, The Honourable Bruce Ralston, and Mayor Marianne Alto in celebration of 135 years of Lebanese Emigration to British Columbia. In 1888, brothers Rachid & Faris Rahi were the first Lebanese to arrive in Victoria. Thank you to the Honorary Consul Dr. Nick Kahwaji, to World Lebanese Cultural Union WLCU in B.C, to all the individuals, donors, and the Lebanese community whose efforts and generous contributions transformed the dream of “Emigration Plaza” into a magnificent reality.
