Goan Overseas Association Discontinues VIVA GOA for
2008
The G.O.A .has hosted Viva Goa for the past 10 years
with much success. We consider this event to be
important in showcasing our culture and instrumental
for visibility of our Goan people. Unfortunately, due
to the rocketing costs associated with various venues,
and logistical issues with alternatives this year, the
executive committee has decided not to host Viva Goa
in 2008.
Generally, Viva Goa takes place on July 26th. The
committee will continue with the soccer tournament on
July 26th without the cultural shows. If you wish to
join in the tournament, kindly contact Seira.Furtado
at
vivagoa@goatoronto.com

United Church calls for unprecedented public
attention to June 11 apology
TORONTO, June 5 /CNW/ -
The United Church of Canada is calling on its own
membership and all Canadians
to stop whatever they are doing at 3:00 p.m. EDT on
Wednesday, June 11, to watch or listen to Prime
Minister Stephen Harper deliver Canada's apology to
residential school survivors and their families.
"We know that many First Nations communities are
already planning gatherings to mark this historic
event. But they should not be alone in recognizing
that this is a significant moment in Canadian
history," explains the United Church's Moderator, the
Right Rev. David Giuliano. Giuliano says the words
spoken by the Prime Minister on June 11 will carry far
more weight and meaning if Canada's First Nations
peoples can see that other Canadians are standing in
solidarity with them on this day. |
