As part of the commemoration of the 113th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Albania, solemn ceremonies were held in several cities across Canada to raise the Albanian national flag, honoring one of the most important symbols of our national identity and unity.

The Albanian flag was raised and remained on display for 24 hours in the central areas of several major Canadian cities. In addition, the red and black national colors illuminated Niagara Falls, as well as public squares and spaces in front of municipal buildings, conveying a strong message of national pride and belonging.

Special appreciation is extended to the Albanian-Canadian associations for their cooperation, coordination, and valuable contribution to the successful organization of these commemorative activities:

• Albanian-Canadian Community Association

• National Union Executive, Kitchener–Waterloo

• Albanian Association of Windsor

• Albanian Association of Calgary
