How fortunate are we who get to call the amazing country of Canada our Home! It’s a place that offers great opportunities, beauty in cultural diversity, and a hope filled future that is shaped by the choices of its people.
Our family history includes very Brave great-great-grandparents who immigrated here from Latvia in the early 1900’s. They were among the many peoples who began a journey of hope across the ocean with nothing more than a few clothes and a very few dollars in their pockets. Our great-great-grandpa Dave is actually recognized as a founding father of the town that he farmed near. He loved his life in Canada, and was blessed to see 99 years of life. If you’d have had the chance to ask him if he would have made the same choice to come to this country knowing what lay ahead of him. He would have told you that while life was hard, the journey was worth it, and he never regretted the choice to embrace the challenges and opportunities of making an unfamiliar place his Home.
So, as we set aside July 1st to celebrate the diversity of the peoples and the journeys that brought many of us to this beautiful country we call home. May we embrace the day, and each other, with warm wishes for the bright and amazing future we are so lucky to take a part in creating!
“There are no limits to the majestic future which lies before the mighty expanse of Canada with its virile, aspiring, cultured, and generous-hearted people.”
– Winston Churchill
Happy Canada Day!
