Peace by Chocolate

For nearly 30 years the founders of Peace by Chocolate created and shipped specialty treats all over the Middle East and Europe. Like much of their homeland, in late 2012 the original family chocolate factory in Damascus, Syria was destroyed in a bombing that forced them to leave everything behind and flee to Lebanon. For three years they found themselves as refugees with little opportunity or hope. Their lives had been forever altered and they dreamed of being able to once again live lives they could love. When the family was invited to Canada, their dreams came true. With the support of their new community of Antigonish, and the people of Nova Scotia, they have rebuilt their chocolate company and are once again doing the work they love.
