Mississauga – June 30th, 2023
The Canadian Egyptian Heritage Association (The Canadian Egyptian Heritage Association CEHA) unveiled its 5th; edition of Egyptian Heritage Month for 2023 “Discover Egypt”. With a long list of captivating events, exhibitions, art, folk, and cultural performances, festivities, celebrations, competitions, and fun filled events to highlight the Egyptian Heritage Month.
“Though Egypt is well known for its deep-rooted civilization, and countless ancient monuments that add to what is considered few of yet existing wonders of the world; scientists, historians and Egyptologists are still un-earthing new discoveries. Each tells a story of how Pharaohs thought and how did they behave and how advanced they were and still are” Said Magdy Nashaat, chair, the Canadian Egyptian Heritage Association CEHA
“Those of you who may not know, whoever is looking over my shoulder here, this is a certified replica of the statue of King Akhenaten, one of the most famous kings of ancient Egypt, and the father of king Tut. Akhenaton came to power as the pharaoh of Egypt in either the year 1353 or 1351 BCE and reigned for roughly 17 years during the 18th dynasty of Egypt’s New Kingdom. As an Egyptian myself, I’m so proud to announce the launch of the 5th edition of the Egyptian Heritage Month, from this spot, in front of King Akhenaten”. Added Magdy Nashaat, chairperson, CEHA.
“As the first elected Parliamentarian of Egyptian origins in the Canadian History, It gives me a great pleasure to see the Egyptian Heritage Month coming to fruition and celebrating its fifth year in Ontario. With over 300,000 Canadians of Egyptian origins in Canada, we are proud of our origins and the great achievements made here. I would like to thank the Canadian Egyptian Heritage Association for their immense effort to bring many festivities and activities since 2019. I am very excited to join and see this year’s program and the many activities that will be held. I encourage everyone to join in to these events.” Said, Sheref Sabawy, member of Provincial parliament for Mississauga Erin Mills.
