The week from May 26 to June 1, 2025, brings us an exciting opportunity to celebrate Citizenship Week! This is a time to reflect on what it means to be a citizen in our vibrant communities.

As the Honourable Lena Metlege Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, highlighted in her statement, Citizenship Week is about acknowledging the contributions of newcomers and the strength they bring to our nation.

During this week, communities across the country will hold events and activities aimed at celebrating diversity and promoting belonging. It’s a perfect chance for everyone—whether you’re a long-time citizen or a newcomer—to engage, learn, and share experiences.

Let’s come together this week to celebrate what it means to be part of this great community!
