Press Release
Ethiopian Community Association in Ottawa
Ethiopia continues to inspire the world with its magnificent history, culture, religion, flora and fauna, as diverse as its captivating history and landscape. Ethiopia’s lone millennium due to be celebrated this month inspires millions around the world. This inspiration and enthusiasm has led Amsterdam, Atlanta, Brussels, Edmonton, Calgary, Finland, Frankfurt, London, Nashville, Portland, Seattle, Stockholm, Toronto, Vancouver and Washington DC to officially declare Ethiopian Millennium Day.
As we prepare for the celebrations, it is with great joy and enthusiasm that we received the declaration of Larry O’Brien, Mayor Ottawa, of one of the most beautiful cities of the world, announcing September 11, 2007, as “Ethiopian Millennium Day.” (see the declaration here)
The Ethiopian Community Association of Ottawa seizes this opportunity to thank Mayor O’Brien for his recognition of the festivals of Ethiopians and Ethio-Canadians in Ottawa.
The Association would also like to thank Ato Samuel Getachew for his untiring effort to make this happen.
