International Peace Festival Hosts Annual Conference and Gala

Toronto – Last month, the International Peace Festival organized and hosted their yearly event to commemorate the United Nations’ Day International Day of Peace. The week-long program included film screenings and musical performances, panel discussions, and art exhibitions, and concluded with the Global Peace Ambassadors Gala in support of McMaster Children’s Hospital.

“This event has been growing exponentially since its inception, and I couldn’t be happier with the turnout that we had this year,” commented Angelique Codina, International Peace Festival’s Executive Vice-President. “Our entire team is to be commended on the outstanding work that they did to bring this festival together, and the success that we had is the direct result of their dedication.”

The opening ceremonies of the festival were held at Toronto City Hall, and were attended by numerous foreign dignitaries, as well as members of all three levels of Canadian government. The Ambassadors Gala was capped off by an awards ceremony, where representatives from multiple nations were on-hand to present achievement awards to the winning film from each continent.

This year’s festival was co-organized by GTA Strategies, a business and government relations firm, who provided logistical support and facilitated VIP attendance. “This kind of event is what Toronto is all about,” said GTA Strategies principal Jeremy Beamer. “We are the second most multicultural city on the planet, and I can’t think of a better place to have an event like this, that brings together people from all over the world to share in a common goal.”
