from Darrell Samson, Member of Parliament/Député for Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook.
February marks National Flag Day which is celebrated on February 15th. The House of Commons passed the design on December 15, 1964. Queen Elizabeth II proclaimed the new flag on January 28, 1965, and it was inaugurated on February 15th in the same year.
Since then, Canada’s red and white maple leaf ag has become a symbol of the common values of equality, freedom and inclusion that unite all Canadians
Happy National Flag Day!
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
I would like to encourage everyone to take time during these next few weeks to recognize the dedication and excellence of Canada’s Black and Afro descendant communities, as well as the contributions they’ve made towards the advancement of human rights, equity and justice for all Canadians. Happy Black History Month!
