Canadian Embassy Visits Coronado

With the Canada-Panama Free Trade Agreement currently being ratified, Canada's Ambassador to Panama, Sylvia Cesaratto made an outreach call to Canadians living in Panama's Pacific beaches. Ambassador Cesaratto and her staff, hosted a Meet and Greet affair at El Rincon del Chef in Coronado. Canadians from around the beach areas gathered with short notice to meet the Ambassador. Meeting Canadians in Panama is a strategic priority of the Canadian Embassy. They want Canadians outside Canada to register with the Embassy. This allows the Embassy to know where Canadians are in case of an emergency. Should an emergency situation arise, the Embassy works to get the word out through area 'Wardens'. Keith and Susana Cheng, owners of HIM Home Improvements and More are Wardens in the Coronado area.

With more flights bringing Canadians to live, visit and do business in Panama, the Embassy knows there are many Canadians at the beaches and they want Canadians to know they are there to assist.
