Being an iconic figure in a peaceful co existence, the National Chief Imam Sheikh Dr. Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu gladly accepted the teamʼs invitation and promised to do all he can to join the Ghana festival in Toronto, more especially to promote peace and unity among Ghanains both home and abroad.
The goal of Ghanafest is to bring Canadaʼs multicultural community together in showcasing the rich culture and heritage of the Ghanaian community.
This will include traditional food, cultural performers, performance from local artists within the GTA, and other showcases. The average attendance over the past 7 years has increased from 1000-1500 people & promises to be bigger this year around with lots of anticipation from the community because this year has been dubbed as the Year of Return whereby Ghana has been selected as the destination spot for the global community to celebrate 400 years in the abolishment of slavery.
