Thanks CDOA, we here in Canada and especially Toronto are always proud to support you. Continue to do what you are doing and my support will be always there.
As a Canadian I am proud of the way my country welcomes good people from other nations and the diversity of our culture.
This stamp celebrating BLACK HISTORY MONTH is an example of this. My wife and I have two grandchildren in school and we hope they will learn black history. We want them to be aware of the contributions black people have made in Canada and the USA.
Thank you DNO for the beautiful picture and information. The ladies are lovely! The color is totally striking!
God bless you at DNO, and all our Dominican born Canadians.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
Well done, CDOA! May Almighty God continue to bless you all for your collective efforts to keep not only the Dominican culture alive and vibrant in Canada but for also keeping our Black heritage strong.
All that you do is truly appreciated and I will continue to be a stalwart supporter of the organization.
Nice all the way. Thanks to the Canadians for reminding us of our great history.
