Canada Day Celebration in Taipei Marks 40 Years of Bilateral Ties

Taipei's Hakka Culture Park buzzed with activity for the "Celebration Canada" festival, marking Canada's 159th National Day. The event, co-hosted by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan (CCCT) and the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei (CTOT), also celebrated 40 years since the CTOT's founding in 1986.

This year marks 40 years since the establishment of the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei, in addition to celebrating Canada National Day, we are also celebrating the firm friendship between Canada and Taiwan.

Marie-Louise Hannan, CTOT representative, emphasized the "firm friendship" between Canada and Taiwan during the festivities. The park featured a music stage, food stalls, and family games, showcasing Canadian culture to a large crowd of expatriates and locals.

The police's primary mission is to ensure 'zero accidents' at the scene. In addition to strengthening patrols inside and outside the park, they also transformed into 'police outreach ambassadors' to promote 'anti-drug' and 'human trafficking prevention' on site.

Taipei's Zhongzheng Second Precinct police ensured safety and smooth traffic flow. Beyond security, officers acted as "public relations ambassadors," promoting anti-drug and anti-human trafficking initiatives. They educated attendees on identifying and reporting exploitation, demonstrating Taiwan's commitment to human rights and international cooperation in crime prevention.

Combating drug crime and preventing human trafficking transcend borders. By assisting with the Canadian National Day event, we not only successfully completed the security mission for international cultural exchange but also successfully rooted and extended crime prevention concepts.
