An Invitation to All of Us from the Canadian-Cuban Friendship Association of Niagara
Posted February 8th, 2016 on Niagara At Large
Niagara, Ontario – The MacBain Centre, Community Conference Room at corner of McLeod and Montrose Roads in Niagara Falls will be the site this coming Tuesday, March 1st, 2016 of Canadian-Cuban Friendship Association Niagara’s Annual General Meeting and Public Night.
The event, featuring Javier Domokos Ruiz, Cuba’s Consul General as guest speaker, begins at 7 p.m. and everyone, including the general public and community leaders, is welcome.
“Not only will Mr. Dómokos Ruiz analyze the historic reestablishment of U.S. – Cuba relations but where do we go from here? More importantly the 55 year long economic and trade embargo – actually a blockade – is still in place,” said Dave Thomas, CCFA Niagara Chair
The refrain is heard from every corner of Canada: “I must visit Cuba before the Americas return.” said Thomas. “This of course gives reference to the day Americans will be allowed to freely travel to Cuba by their own government. The expectation is the massive American tourism and investment will change the country forever.”
A Power-Point, presentation will feature a very special way a visitor can feel part of Cuba. The Che Guevara Brigade, is recruiting for an April 28th departure. For two weeks participants live, work and play alongside Cubans in their communities. Many participants have called their brigade experience “life changing”.
CCFA Niagara has fundraised to be able to offer two partial scholarships. Application is open to any resident of Regional Niagara who wishes to join the brigade.
Daily programs will be available as well as registration forms. Information will be available on all tourism opportunities to this wonderful, friendly country.
“Our members collectively have a great knowledge of Cuba for those looking for varied vacation ideas” said Thomas, “We can also give much insight into what makes Cuba such a favoured destination for over 1.2 million Canadians each year.”
