Newsroom Ready: Refugee and chocolate maker Tareq Hadhad becomes citizen in Halifax ceremony

A Nova Scotia chocolate maker who came to Canada as a Syrian refugee has become a Canadian citizen. Tareq Hadhad, the founder of Peace by Chocolate in Antigonish, took part in a special citizenship ceremony Wednesday in Halifax. Hadhad's family had made chocolates in Syria for more than 20 years, but their factory was destroyed in a bombing that forced them to leave the country in 2012. Peace by Chocolate opened for business in 2016.
