In my hometown of Belleville, Ontario the preparations are in full swing to prepare for this holiday long weekend. Flags are flying and people are preparing for the festivities that often accompany Canada Day. This is our time to celebrate our countries unity, diversity and growth.
As a nation we continue to strive to improve our position on the world stage. Looking at new ways to show leadership both at home in Canada and on the World Stage. Our Peacekeeping troops representing us overseas will be remembered in our celebrations here in Canada.
As Canadian’s we have a lot to be thankful for, adequate affordable healthcare, accessible education for all Canadians, a diverse and accepting population, as well as so much else. Although at times we are divided we can still attest to the fact that we are Canadians regardless of age, race, religion or creed we are all equally Canadian.
I wish everyone a safe and fun weekend, as we embark on this holiday weekend.
