<p>It was a remarkable day at Vincent Massey Park, Ottawa, as the Nigerian and African communities in the Ottawa-Gatineau region came together to experience the New Yam Festival, a unique cultural celebration of the Igbo people of Nigeria. The festival, also known as Iri Ji Ohu, is a vibrant tribute to the yam harvest, a staple crop in Igbo culture. This event, a testament to the community's gratitude for a successful harvest and their hopes for future prosperity, also serves as a vibrant showcase of Nigeria's diverse heritage. </p>
