Ghana closed by fire

A massive fire in an Ottawa hardware store which spewed toxic smoke and gasses is having an effect on Ghana.

The Ghana High Commission in Ottawa shares a building with a hardware store which burned on Wednesday 16 March 2011, causing a large evacuation of nearby residents and road closures.

Although Ghana has two building sites, they are currently not responding as they were evacuated from the current consular office with no notice.

This means it could be several days before Ghana resumes issuing visas.
