Estimados compatriotas:
Tal como estaba previsto, el pasado 25 de agosto a las 22:00 las Cataratas del Niágara se iluminaron con los colores del Pabellón Nacional en homenaje al Día Nacional de Uruguay en conmemoración de nuestra Independencia.
Agradecemos a todos los que nos pudieron acompañar esa noche de forma presencial, así como a todos los que se conectaron para verlo a través de la web oficial.
Asimismo, un especial agradecimiento a las agrupaciones vinculadas al candombe en Ontario, La Magia Candombe y C1080 Norte, quienes nos acompañaron con un repertorio musical que acompañó el show de luces y que propició una atmósfera de festejo y celebración.
Compartimos con ustedes algunas de las fotografías compartidas por Sergio Solanes y funcionarios de la Embajada.
Reciban todos un caluroso saludo de todo el personal de la Embajada y los Consulados Generales en Toronto y Montreal. ¡Esperamos verlos pronto en próximos eventos!
