The Consul General of Republic of Malta to Canada, Dr Raymond C. Xerri visited the Maltese Community in the town of Whitby, in the Durham Region, a town which was last visited by a Consul General of Malta to Canada in 1972 when the first Maltese Trade Commissioner and Honorary Consul General John Pisani was appointed.
Consul General Dr Raymond C. Xerri was greeted by Teresa Bugelli, Coordinator of the Maltese Cultural Club of Durham. Dr Xerri met several Maltese citizens and persons of Maltese ancestry and organized an information session for a limited number of people due to COVID19 protocols.
This visit to the Durham Region is the first in a series of similar visits considering the ever-growing demand for information requested by mainly second and third generation Maltese Canadians who decided to apply for Maltese Citizenship and obtain their Maltese Passport amongst other useful services requested.
