This festival reflected the broadening space in the moderate Tamil community for a welcoming engagement with Sri Lanka. This moderate Canadian Tamil segment of the population mainly represents academics, professionals, and high-profile business community. They have shown interest for increasing presence in Sri Lanka in the economic development. There is a growing trend of submitting dual citizen applications by this segment having prospects for broader engagement in Sri Lanka. The Consulate General in Toronto is providing consular services for an increasing number of Sri Lankan Canadian Tamil community and representing their social, cultural and community events. Sri Lanka may utilize this platform and the political force to strengthen the reconciliation efforts of Sri Lanka through some constructive engagements on a clear roadmap.
