"Happy Canada Day to Canadians everywhere, and especially to Canadians living in or from Alberta!

“Whether we are brand-new Canadians or our families have been here for generations, we have so much to celebrate - the achievements and contributions of our First Nations people and our community pioneers, the courage of Canadians in the cause of peace, and a quality of life that is among the best in the world.

“While we celebrate all that makes us proud of Canada, let us also give thanks for the generosity and help of our neighbours, and the welcoming acceptance of our communities. With that as our foundation and strength, we can face the future with confidence and the knowledge that we stand together.”

“Please enjoy a happy and safe Canada Day with family, friends and your fellow Canadians.”
