WITNESS AND CAPTURE LIGHTING CEREMONIES TO COMMEMORATE THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF PHILIPPINES-CANADA BILATERAL RELATIONS
In celebration of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral relations between the Philippines and Canada, the Philippine Consulate General in Toronto invites the Filipino Community in Ontario and Manitoba to witness the lighting of key monuments and establishments in Brampton on 1 December, in Mississauga and Vaughan on 2 December, and in Winnipeg on 4 December.
Capture the lighting ceremonies and tag us on Facebook #PHinCanada and #PHinToronto.
Bilateral relations between the Philippines and Canada were established in December 1949 when Canada established a trade mission in Manila. This year in December marks the 75th anniversary of the bilateral relations between the two countries.
The 75th anniversary, with the theme, “Building Bridges, Celebrating Connections”, encapsulates the dynamic and forward-looking diplomatic relations between the two countries. The Philippines and Canada are again embarking on new pathways for collaboration such as in defense, agriculture and food security, energy, development cooperation, cybersecurity, among others. At the same time, the two countries continue to celebrate milestones and enjoy robust people to people relations.

The Philippine Consulate General in Toronto joins the observance of the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW) from 25 November to 12 December 2024, an advocacy campaign that is observed annually, as mandated by Proclamation No. 1172 s. 2006.
Led by the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), the 2022-2027 recurring campaign theme, “UNiTEd for a VAW-free Philippines” along with the 2024 sub-theme, “VAW Bigyang Wakas, Ngayon na ang Oras!” highlights the urgency of the advocacy in line with the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Anti-VAWC Act of 2004 (RA 9262).
This year’s Campaign aims to:
1. Raise public awareness about the various forms and impact of VAW and encourage safe, effective interventions in preventing and addressing VAW;
2. Encourage individuals, communities, and government to work together to create a comprehensive response to VAW with a strong focus on prevention; and
3. Empower survivors by disseminating information on available support services and resources, fostering a society that empowers survivors to seek justice and rebuild their lives.
The campaign remains aligned with the United Nations’ “UNiTE by 2030 to End VAW” initiative, of which the Philippines is one of the 51 charter members. UNiTE is a multiyear effort that calls on duty-bearers, civil society and non-governmental organizations, the private sector, media entities, the youth, and UN member states to join forces in addressing the global pandemic of violence against women and girls.
