GODERICH — Thousands of community organizations from coast to coast to coast will let Canadians express their pride in their country, thanks to support from the Government of Canada.
On behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, MP Ben Lobb invites the citizens of Huron-Bruce to take part in the activities being held from June 21 to July 1, 2012.
“As Canada’s birthday approaches, enthusiasm is building among the citizens of every province and territory. You are showing your pride in being Canadian and in the fundamental values we share,” said Minister Moore. “Canada Day is an opportunity to get together with friends and family to express your love for Canada and to pay tribute to the achievements of the men and women who have made our country the best in the world!”
“As we prepare to celebrate Canada Day and honour our country’s history, we must remember how fortunate we are. Our rich heritage enables us to look to the future with confidence and enthusiasm. I hope you all enjoy the celebrations” said MP Ben Lobb.
In 2012, the Government of Canada will invest in approximately 1,750 Celebrate Canada projects and activities across the country. The program celebrates National Aboriginal Day, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, Canadian Multiculturalism Day, and Canada Day.
This funding will go to the Huron Shores Lions Club in Kincardine ($4,300), Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce ($3,400) and The Town of Goderich ($3,700). All three groups will use the funds for Canada Day celebrations in their respective communities.
On July 1, in addition to the many events taking place throughout Huron-Bruce the Government of Canada will present a spectacular show on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
