Happy Canada Day! Joyeux Fête du Canada!

—

July 1st is Canada Day here in the second largest country around and this year Canada celebrates it’s 150th birthday. In Vancouver the city is calling it Canada 150+ to recognize both the country’s official day as Canada and that the First Nations people have been here for much longer than the rest of us.  I’d like to wish everyone a great day! For me, I am always grateful that my parents choose this wonderful country to start their new life well before I was even a thought.  All of us in Canada make up this country whether your ancestors have been here for centuries or if you’ve arrived here only recently.  Let’s grow as a nation and as humans – to be an example of that to the world. Kindness matters. Celebrate diversity.  Love to all.

Happy Canada Day from Wanders the World.

P.S. – Sunday Special will not be posted this weekend and will resume the following week.
