President Reuven Rivlin was the guest of honor on Sunday at an event in honor of Magen David Adom in Toronto, during his state visit to Canada.
The President thanked the participants in French, English and Hebrew, and said that he was excited to note the wonderful and life-saving work of the Canadian Magen David Adom for Israel, Canada and the world. MDA Canada has been operating in the country since 1976. The President noted the assistance provided by MDA Canada to Israel and referred to the Canadian Red Cross delegation, which was joined by an MDA official, which is in Mozambique to help the victims of the cyclone that hit the country.
