On Tuesday, August 20, 2024, Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo O.R.T.T., President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, graciously received His Excellency Arif Keshani, High Commissioner for Canada, on his Farewell Courtesy visit. High Commissioner Keshani has served in this esteemed role since December 8, 2022, when he presented his Letters of Credence.
During the visit, High Commissioner Keshani presented a meaningful gift to Her Excellency—a reproduction of a Raven and Bear Pole (VII-B-1542), a Haida argillite carving. This reproduction was crafted from casts of the original historical Haida carving in argillite, a unique slate-like material found only on Haida Gwaii, and is part of the Canadian Museum of History’s collection.
Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo O.R.T.T. expressed her heartfelt thanks to High Commissioner Keshani for his dedicated service and extended her best wishes for his future endeavors.
