It inspired the world as a pioneer of early civilization. The discovery of the first humanoid “Lucy” speaks volumes that Ethiopia is the cradle of mankind. Like others its good and bad days have come and gone.

Despite all odds Ethiopia has survived two thousands years. Today Ethiopians are on the eve starting a new journey to the 3rd millennium. The Ethiopian Community Association in Ottawa (ECAO) in collaboration with Ethiopian civic organizations and community groups are organizing a celebration to mark this once in a lifetime yet historic event.

ECAO requests the residents of the city of Ottawa and Montreal to join the Ethiopian community in celebrating this historic occasion on September 15, 2007 at the Bronson Centre, 211 Bronson Avenue, Ottawa. It is a celebration that will be glorified with cultural shows, music and art festivals, social activities, traditional food and drinks.

On this day Ethiopians of all religions and ethnic backgrounds will join hands to demand that the new millennium be one where human rights violations against our people will not be tolerated, where love, tolerance and reconciliation will prevail. It would be an occasion where each one of us pledges for Ethiopia in the new millennium. We will make this celebration an event to express our hope and promise to create a renovated Ethiopia where democracy, good governance, and rule of law would be the benchmark for Ethiopia’s future development. The organizing committee requests your earnest participation to make the millennium celebration memorable.
