Jon Tattrie & Tareq Hadhad in conversation at King’s

Atlantic Books and Books by Heart at the University of King’s College present Jon Tattrie, author of Peace by Chocolate: The Hadhad Family’s Remarkable Journey from Syria to Canada, in conversation with Tareq Hadhad, Start Up Canada’s 2017 National Newcomer Entrepreneur, 2021 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year (Atlantic), and founder of Peace by Chocolate. The remarkable book tells the extraordinary story of the Hadhad family and the founding of the chocolatier, Peace by Chocolate.

From the devastation of the Syrian civil war, through their life as refugees in Lebanon, to their arrival in a small town in Atlantic Canada, Peace by Chocolate is the story of one family. It is also the story of the people of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and so many towns across Canada, who welcomed strangers and helped them face the challenges of settling in an unfamiliar land.

Members of the King’s community have free, unlimited access to the Books by Heart digital book collection, which will also be refreshed this month with a whole lineup of new eBooks, including Peace by Chocolate. Books by Heart is being tested at King’s this year before being launched with Nova Scotia Health.

This event is open to the public, and all are welcome to attend. And yes, there will be chocolate!

*Note: we will update the event when the ebook has been added to the Books by Heart Collection!
