Ottawa’s annual gathering with the Filipino-Canadian community to celebrate the Christmas season will stick to the virtual format when it premieres tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. EST.
Hosted by kababayan MP Rechie Valdez (Mississauga – Streetsville), recently appointed chair of the Canada-Philippines Interparliamentary Group (CPIG), the program will feature performances from Filipino-Canadian musical artists throughout the country, along with greetings from select members of the Liberal caucus in the House of Commons.
The event announcement was posted on Valdez’ social media channels on Thursday. Those interested to join the online celebration will receive a Zoom link after they register by emailing their full name to rechie.valdez@parl.gc.ca.
Valdez co-hosted last year’s event alongside MP Kevin Lamoureux (Winnipeg North), the previous CPIG chair. The recorded video can be viewed below.
