Canada Day Statement from Jack Layton - Friday June 30, 2006

Today, in communities large and small, from coast-to-coast-to-coast, families and friends are gathering together to celebrate this great country we share.

For many Canadians, July 1st is a day filled with longstanding traditions and for some, this is the first time they will celebrate Canada Day as Canadian Citizens.


No matter how many Canada Days you’ve observed it is always special to honour this great country.

Today is a day to reflect on the blessings Canadians share and the values that helped to build this country.

Values like tolerance, diversity and social justice. Working together we can build a strong and confident nation that we can proudly pass on to our children and grandchildren.

On behalf of all New Democrats I’m wishing you and your family a safe and happy holiday. Happy Birthday Canada!
