HALIFAX — 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, N.S., took part in a special citizenship ceremony Wednesday in Halifax. “It’s amazing,” he said after the ceremony at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Hadhad says he passed his Canadian citizenship test with a perfect score. Peace by Chocolate opened for business in 2016 and now ships its confections around the world.
