ZAMCAN CELEBRATES!!!

On October 23rd, 2010 ZAMCAN celebrated Zambian 46th Independence Anniversary and also commemorated the 10th Anniversary of ZAMCAN at Sapphire Banquet and Conference Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. To grace the occasion and launch the DISCOVER ZAMBIA magazine was a team from Ottawa led by His Excellency Dr. Nevers Mumba, Zambian High Commissioner to Canada.
The event was a massive success as Mbonella Phiri (in the photo), Chishimba Kaela, Nampungwe Kangwa, Clarice Mwewa and Mulenga Kangwa took part in a Fashion Show with elegancy. Joe Kashimani, Kabwe Chola (as narrator), Simon Chiwala, Yotam Sichilima, and others performed a play titled Dawn into Independence written by Charles Mwewa. The ZAMCAN Board awarded certificates to the first Board of ZAMCAN which included Dr. Sam Sikaneta, Mr., Chisanga Puta-Chekwe, among others. Mrs. Mabel Opoku received the certificate for her relentless effort to connect members of ZAMCAN on a weekly basis. Mr. Alan Wadham received a certificate as the longest serving member of ZAMCAN. Prof. Douglas Anglin was also awarded a certificate in absentia for being the first patron of ZAMCAN, a position occupied today by Dr. Sikaneta.

In this regard, we have a dual duty, to develop and build capacity here, and to contribute to the well-being of our people there. [Read More]
