“Today, on Canadian Multiculturalism Day, we come together to celebrate the many cultures, languages and traditions that have contributed to and continue to shape our province and country. Whether your roots go back generations, or you are new to Canada, your experiences and perspectives contribute to the larger Canadian story.

“Our multicultural fabric is fueling innovation, expanding global connections and contributes to Alberta’s economic success. From small business owners and global entrepreneurs to skilled trades and cutting-edge tech, the diverse talents across Alberta are key to our continued growth and resilience.

“Alberta’s government remains committed to championing multiculturalism to ensure our province remains the best place to live, work, invest and raise a family. As we honour many different communities, let us renew our commitment to fostering a province where everyone is valued and respected.

“Let us continue to build on our differences and find strength in the unity that binds us.”
