On Canada Day, right here in Kitchener Centre, we welcomed 45 new citizens into our Canadian family. 🇨🇦
I was deeply honoured to be part of such a meaningful moment in their journey — a day filled with pride, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.
To each and every new Canadian: welcome home. Your stories, your strength, and your dreams are now part of the fabric of this community, and we are better for it. 💙🤍❤️
May this be the start of something truly special.
