Somali Canadian author Fartumo Kusow has spent much of 2018 traveling across Canada, the United States, with stops in the UK and Somalia, speaking about her first English-language novel "A Tale of a Boon's Wife", published by Second Story Press.
The City of Windsor has a permanent monument commemorating those who died in the massacre. In 2017, Windsor's Mayor Drew Dilkens also proclaimed July 11th as "Srebrenica Remembrance Day".
In honour of the 23rd Anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide, today Brian Masse M.P. (Windsor West) made the following statement:
My name is Iman Berry. I was recently selected as one of thirty youth in a national competition with hundreds of Canada's top leaders to represent our great nation on an international trade mission in China. I will be participating in this mission through Global Vision a Non-Profit organization aimed at teaching Canadian youth skills they will need to succeed in the global economy. Delegates were selected for their ability to lead, communicate effectively, work in a team and most importantly their dedication to their community and country.
I am raising $6000 towards my trade mission. Global Vision funds the rest of the costs through national and regional partnerships.
