Sierra Leone-Canada Trade, Investment and Cultural Show (SLCA) hosted its first ever three-day event in Canada, held in Toronto.

Among the distinguished guests were Ministers from the Government of Sierra Leone, and Her Excellency the First Lady of Sierra Leone. Their presence underscored the event’s importance and signaled strong governmental support for the diaspora and social issues.

Special thanks to First Lady Fatima Maada Bio for her inspiring leadership and for positioning Hands Off Our Girls as a central message of the event. Deep gratitude to the Ministers from Sierra Leone whose presence and contributions added gravitas and policy relevance. Thanks to the organizing committee: those who handled logistics, programming, promotion, volunteer coordination, and finances. Thanks to all performers, cultural troupes, speakers, panelists, vendors, and sponsors who came together to make each day meaningful. And of course, heartfelt thanks to the community members those who attended, engaged, shared, raised voices, and made the event alive.
