The Tamil Youth Organization – Canada hosted its third annual Transition Ceremony on September 21.
The event is held every year to mark the importance Tamil Students’ Associations (TSAs) across Canada play in the Tamil community and mark the transition of the executive teams at the beginning of the academic year.

TSAs are instrumental in promoting the Eelam Tamil identity of Canadian Tamil students and this year’s event, held at the Princess Banquet Hall in Scarborough, Ontario, saw the handing over of the Tamil Eelam national flag from the outgoing to the incoming executive teams.

In addition to university students, TYO – Canada also invited high school TSA executives to be part of the ceremony. Further, members of the Tamil-Canadian community also attended the event to encourage the youth leaders of the current generation.
