Tareq Hadhad

Tareq Hadhad is a Syrian refugee and the founder of Peace by Chocolate, a successful chocolate company based in Nova Scotia, Canada. After fleeing war-torn Syria, where his family's chocolate factory was destroyed, he established his business in Canada, which not only offers quality chocolates but also contributes to peace-building initiatives. Hadhad became a prominent public speaker, sharing his inspiring story of resilience and advocating for humanitarian issues, which led to controversy when his keynote speech at a legal gala was canceled due to backlash over his social media posts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
