Premier’s statement on Canada Day
Letter to the Editor
Canada is the greatest nation on Earth. I am proud to celebrate our country alongside the tens of millions of people who call this beautiful, welcoming and ambitious land home.
Canada is facing tremendous challenges from both within and abroad, in a world where old friendships are being tested and new conflicts are emerging. As our national anthem reminds us, it is more critical than ever that we stand on guard for Canada against those who would divide us.
British Columbia is a loyal member of Team Canada. That is why we are working with the Government of Canada to deliver on nation-building projects that will create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs, bringing even more prosperity to people across this great country.
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples who have called this land home for thousands of years is foundational to realizing Canada’s full potential.
Let us celebrate this Canada Day steadfast in our determination to build on the efforts of the generations before us.
Our country is the greatest nation in the world because of the great people that call it home – so thank you, proud Canadians, and happy Canada Day.
Premier David Eby
