Title: Minister Marc Miller Celebrates Canada Day with Emphasis on Indigenous Peoples and Citizenship
As Canada Day festivities unfold across the country, the focus is not just on fireworks and barbecues but on reflecting on the deep-rooted values and shared history that define being Canadian. The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, is leading the charge in highlighting the importance of recognizing the integral role of Indigenous Peoples in Canada’s past, present, and future.
In a heartfelt statement, Minister Miller emphasized that every Canadian holds a responsibility in advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, urging all citizens to understand and appreciate the rights and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. As part of the commitment to reconciliation, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship has collaborated with Indigenous creators to directly share the voices and experiences of Indigenous Peoples with new Canadians.
One of the impactful initiatives is the video, ‘Welcome, there is room,’ which will now be featured at every citizenship ceremony nationwide. Minister Miller himself had the honor of attending a special citizenship ceremony at the Rogers Centre in Toronto before the annual Canada Day game of the Toronto Blue Jays. Such ceremonies taking place across Canada today signify a significant step in welcoming newcomers and celebrating their commitment to becoming Canadian citizens.
Calling it one of the best parts of his job, Minister Miller encouraged everyone to participate in a citizenship ceremony in their area to experience the sense of pride in being Canadian. Amidst the celebrations, he also urged people to learn more about Indigenous Peoples and cultures, making a strong case for embracing diversity, equity, inclusivity, and multiculturalism that define Canada.
As Canada celebrates its diversity and unity on this special day, Minister Miller’s message resonates with the spirit of inclusivity and respect for all those who call Canada home. Through his call to give back to the community and educate oneself on Indigenous histories, he emphasizes that the strength of Canada lies in the collective efforts to build a better tomorrow.
Let this Canada Day be a reminder of the values that unite us and the importance of standing in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples. Happy Canada Day to all, from Minister Marc Miller and Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada!
