The Cambodian Association of Ottawa Valley (CAOV) will be holding an event in June 26th 2010 at Saint Anthony Soccer club, 523 St. Anthony Street (off Preston Street) to mark 30 years of commemoration since the day the first Cambodian families settled in the City.
In the summer of 1979, the first Cambodian families arrived to Ottawa through project 4000 and the Government sponsor program. We were greeted with welcome arms by a churches / private group of sponsors and Government officials. You provided us "a soft landing"in our plight from starvation, war, violence and political turmoil and assisted us to begin a new and wonderful life in Canada.
On this special day, we will showcase our culture and heritage, our appreciation, and gratitude towards Canada and the Ottawa community for accepting us into this great culture and bringing new light to our lives.
Let us give this great nation what it deserves; let us celebrate this milestone together!
On behalf of the Cambodian families you graciously supported, the Association would like to formally invite you and/or a delegate to join us and to be part of this significant celebration.
We look forward to seeing you!
