Governor General on Citizenship Week 2011

His Excellency, the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, has made public a message on the occasion of Canadian Citizenship Week (October 17-21); a week during which Canadians are encouraged to reflect on the “unity through diversity” of our society and the enrichment we enjoy through multiculturalism. His Excellency comments on the values inherent in our openness to immigrants and refugees who often flee injustice or simply want to start a new life but in either case come to Canada in pursuit of their dreams and help weave the fabric of our harmonious Canadian family.

The Canada-Hungary Educational Foundation promotes these same values and is therefore sharing His Excellency’s message on this website HERE
