Happy Canada Day from Alice Wong.

The following is a transcript:

Dear friends, bonjour mes amis, I would like to take this opportunity to wish a happy Canada Day to you and your loved ones. As we take time to celebrate Canada’s 153rd birthday, we must follow proper social distancing and other healthcare practices to protect ourselves and our front-line workers who sacrifice their own family time to keep us safe and healthy. Instead of going to a park or other public space, consider joining an online concert or event put on by organizations in governments across Canada. Perhaps you may want to have a video or phone call with friends and family or to a socially isolated senior in our neighbourhood. Our community’s response to the ongoing pandemic provides a great example of the selflessness, humility and respect for each other that has come to define us all as Canadians and it is these virtues that will see us through these very challenging times. As I drive around Richmond, I am proud to see hundreds of Canada flags flying really high. I’m now looking forward to seeing you all out in our community at our great nation’s next birthday. From my family to yours, happy Canada Day.
