The World Peace Day celebration is a diverse event that reflects Toronto’s cultural inclusivity. It focuses on issues of global peace, environmental protection, and social justice. The event also includes many activities suitable for children. Artistic expressions are richly varied, including painting, photography, sculpture, film, music, and fashion shows. Although the event has ended, multicultural integration, the fusion of art and technology, military and policy discussions, social peace and stability, economic prosperity, and the growth of children remain our ongoing topics. As the Business Director, this is the record I received. I welcome friends to continue participating and supporting.
