Mayor Tyler Gandam has issued a statement on the occasion of Canada Day.
We live in an amazing country.
Celebrating what our country has to offer — and working to improve along the way — is so important to each of us who are fortunate enough to call Canada home.
In my opinion, one of the best things about Canada is the diversity and multiculturalism that make up the 40 million people who were either born in or immigrated to Canada. Sometimes we forget how good we have it compared to other countries that have faced war, large-scale poverty, and food insecurity every day.
I hope you get the opportunity to celebrate Canada’s 156th anniversary in a way that is meaningful to you. I’m looking forward to the water fight with all the spectators during the Canada Day parade!
Happy Canada Day, Eh!
— Mayor Tyler Gandam
