Ottawa, July 1, 2025
The honorable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for official languages, made the following statement on the occasion of Canada’s Day:
“Happy Canada Day!”
This year, Canadians have so many reasons to be proud, whether it is our resilience and our solidarity or how we defended our values. July 1 is the perfect opportunity to come together with our neighbors, our friends and our loved ones to celebrate the links that unite and make our strength.
From one end to the other of Canada, let us pay tribute to what makes our country so unique: our invaluable heritage, our rich cultural mosaic, the striking beauty of our landscapes, our artists and creators, and the values ​​that are dear to us: democracy, equity and inclusion.
Wherever you are, I invite you to take advantage of the many Canada Day activities organized in your community or everywhere else in the country.
Today, Canadian identity radiates from one ocean to another and beyond our borders. From the banks of Halifax to the Côte de Vancouver, passing through the vast and pure northern of the country, Canada is strong, united and free. Under our national flag, let us remember that we will always be able to dream and build a future up to our aspirations. »»
