CANADA - Dr. Calsey W. Johnson J.P High Commissioner for the Bahamas to Canada on Tuesday, August 05, 2014 attended the Fun Run Peace Ceremony held at the Amphi-Theater at the World Exchange Plaza Downtown Ottawa, Canada.

Dr. Johnson also presented a speech to the organizers and the participants of the events during which he congratulated them for their noble effort. He also brought greetings from the government and people of the Commonwealth Of The Bahamas.

The Peace Run was founded in 1987 and has become one of the world’s greatest initiatives for cultivating unity and friendship through the dynamic median of sport.

It takes place in over 100 countries and it helps in bridging barriers and fostering oneness among people of all cultures and beliefs through the passing of a symbolic torch from hand to hand.

Dr. Johnson encouraged the organizers and the many Canadians to continue their efforts to bring peace to the world. The Peace Run is an annual event and already plans are being made for 2015. The Bahamas is also one of the participating countries.
