Officially designated by former governor general Clarkson in 2002, Canadian Multiculturalism Day affirms our commitment to a society where everyone belongs.

Multiculturalism is one of Canada’s greatest strengths; the very essence of our shared identity.

Our commitment to inclusion is deeply personal to me; in my installation speech, I pledged "to be there for all Canadians," and that promise guides my every action. Building a truly inclusive society is a continuous and vital undertaking.

On this Canadian Multiculturalism Day, let us celebrate our differences and embrace our shared values to continue to build a Canada where everyone is empowered to contribute to a better tomorrow.

Happy Canadian Multiculturalism Day!
