By Tony A. San Juan
Toronto-Canada
June 13, 2017

 
 


 Canada is home to one of the fastest growing Filipino communities in the world.
 “In my riding of York Centre, and across Canada, Filipino-Canadians make rich contributions to their communities, and help to build a better Canada for us all. I am incredibly proud that York Centre is home to Toronto’s Little Manila, as well as hosting annual events like the Salu Salo Picnic and the Taste of Manila Festival,” Mr. Levitt continued.
“On this poignant anniversary, I want to acknowledge the importance of the Filipino community to Canada, and wish them a happy independence day.Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan! Mabuhay!”
