FAREWELL GIFT FOR AMBASSADOR - in the presence of Canadian ambassador

Sadly, FoC bids a fond farewell to Canadian Ambassador Mark Allen, who ends his term here in Greece; we wish him every success.
In 2019, we started out with a great collaboration, watching him learn how to slice a New Year’s vassilopita, first at our FoC event in Athens, and then in Thessaloniki at the Consular Information Session we co-hosted with the Consulate of Canada in Thessaloniki. We then enjoyed his good-spirited participation at our Informal Canada Day Celebration in Athens in July.
