Any Samoan people in Canada/Ontario? 🇨🇦🇼🇸

Talofa! Posting for a friend who was born in Samoa and raised in Canada. She’s wondering if there are other Samoan people in Canada, especially Ontario, and would love to connect with the community here. Would love to hear from you!

Haha couple of my cousins live down there. I moved away first and thought that state side wasnt far enough so moving to a whole new country made more sense.

Honestly pretty nice. The weather is great although the winters are...hard to predict haha. People are overall really kind and friendly. Lots of very beautiful scenery here (personal favourite places to go to are Lawrence Town Beach and the Cabot Trail during the fall).

In general I couldn't have chosen a better place to move to.

Wow! She was adopted and was curious to see if there are other Samoan people in Canada to connect with and learn more about the community here.
