23 November 2016 — Together with other diplomatic missions based in Ottawa, the Philippine Embassy joined the 8th Annual International Food Fair organized by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) in support of the Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (GCWCC) at the Lester B. Pearson Building of GAC.
The Philippine Embassy served the classic kinilaw of the Visayas, a concoction of fish cooked in vinegar and a mixture of herbs and spices, as well as turon, a banana and jackfruit spring roll glazed with caramelized sugar.
The GCWCC is the largest and most successful workplace charitable campaign in Canada and is undertaken to support community services throughout the country. This year’s campaign focused on wellness in the workplace and “Compassion in Action.” END
