COVID-19 constraints are challenging. Yet they are no match for the patriotic spirit of Sierra Leoneans who now live in Edmonton and nearby communities in Alberta, Canada. On Saturday, May 1 2021, compatriots circumvented the restrictions on social interaction brought on by the viral pandemic as they collectively marked the 60th anniversary of Sierra Leone as a sovereign nation.
They did so by video conference, under the auspices of the Sierra Leone Association of Alberta (SLAA). The theme of the occasion was âTogether as a Community, we can Heal.â The guest speaker was Wendy Fehr, executive director of CAUSE CANADA. Her community organization has been engaged in humanitarian work in Sierra Leone for many years now.
