As the country celebrates its 149th birthday on Friday, there are many different ways Canadians mark the occasion. I will be also be celebrating it with Canada as my 57th birthday.
Please wish me a happy birthday by LIKING or posting and commenting on what makes you proud to be a Canadian...
Today people don’t always have a lot choices about where they get to live. There’s something about being Canadian, being able to grow up here is incredible. Whether it's a small town called St. Albert Alberta, Abbotsford, the big city Vancouver or beautiful Vancouver Island, I have always been proud to be part of this great country.
Here are just a few things that I am proud of when I think of Canada, and I am hoping you will add a few of your own to this list...
Clean Water - to drink bath and swim in.
Fresh Food - to share with my family and friends
Health Care and Medicine - for when my loved ones were sick
Shelter - a roof over our head that is warm and dry, a place to call home and to invite you in.
Education - a book, a piece of paper and a pencil, or the University of British Columbia that shapes the great minds our future.
Art - a crayon, a piece of music, the Ballet... the things that inspire me and touch my heart.
Employment - (Office Move Pro) being able to provide for our family and lend my name to a respectful company.
FREEDOM - The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) freedom of association...
But the one thing I am most proud of is how we love and care for one another no matter our social and political influences, race, culture, religion or nationality. And I don't always get it right myself, the thing of it is the majority of the time I do and I'd like to think the majority of Canadians do too.
