ON

HAPPY 150

CANADA!

Dear Friends,

On July 1st, Canadians will celebrate

something special: Canada’s 150! The

festivities will take place from St John’s to

Victoria, from Iqaluit to University—Rosedale,

and all parts in between.

As we celebrate Canada’s 150, we celebrate

our many past accomplishments, our shared

moments, the events that shaped us, and the

ties that bind us. In Canada, we know that

diversity is our strength, and we know – in

our own uniquely Canadian way – that better

is always possible.

Within our own Community Canada 150 will

be celebrated with various festivals,

community events and Canada Day

Celebrations! This will be a great opportunity

to really get to know University—Rosedale!

This Canada Day, let’s celebrate how far we

have come together and how far we can still

go as a country. Together we will continue to

strengthen our communities, share our

stories, and welcome new Canadians with

stories of their own.

There is another important milestone that we

are celebrating this year: the 35th

anniversary of

the Canadian Charter of Right and Freedoms.

The Charter is a statement that unifies

Canadians around a set of principles. It

embodies those rights we hold most dear in

a free and democratic society, including

freedom of expression, freedom of religion,

equal protection under the law, and the right

to use either of Canada’s official languages.

Have a wonderful Canada Day!

Regards,

Hon. Chrystia Freeland, MP

Canada 150 Stamp Unveiling It was an honour to be at The 519 with Canada Post to unveil a

new Canada 150 stamp celebrating marriage equality in Cana-

da. On Canada Day this year we are going to celebrate a great

event in the life of our country and I am proud that we are going

to celebrate it with marriage equality rights for the LGBTQ2

community in Canada and this visual marker of Canada’s

achievements in marriage equality on those envelopes. Think of

all the countries we could mail with these stamps. Congrats

Canada Post on a wonderfully-designed stamp.

Which park will you explore first?

Our National Parks are part of our Canadian identity; they allow

more Canadians to learn about the environment and connect

directly with nature. This year, for Canada 150, entry to all national

parks, national historic sites, and national marine conservation

areas are FREE! I encourage you and your family to start planning

your next adventure at a National Park and enjoy all the beauty

our country has to offer. There is no better time to get out and

get some exercise, while exploring our wonderful country!
