The founder of Peace by Chocolate, Tareq Hadhad, became a Canadian citizen on Wednesday at a ceremony at Pier 21 in Halifax.
Tareq Hadhad of Peace by Chocolate smiled from ear-to-ear as he was called up to officially receive his Canadian citizenship, the first in his family to do so."It's certainly an honour, I feel that I belong to this amazing nation. I feel that I am free and I will go out of this place so proudly saying that I am so honoured to be a Canadian at this moment.
After fleeing Syria, Hadhad's family settled in Antigonish in 2016 and built a social enterprise — Peace by Chocolate — which sells its products across the country and employs about 55 people, including other refugees. Last month, Hadhad announced on Twitter he had passed his Canadian citizenship test with a perfect score. The post garnered tens of thousands of likes and congratulations from the likes of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
