I would like to join all Canadians in commemorating the 101st Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
Easter Monday, April 9, 1917, marked the beginning of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, with all four divisions of the Canadian Corps, fighting together for the first time. The Commander of the 28th Battalion at Vimy, Brigadier-General Alexander Ross, said of the battle at the unveiling of the new Vimy Memorial in 1936, “It was Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific on parade. I thought then…that in those minutes I witnessed the birth of a nation”.
It is with a deep sense of reverence that I commemorate with you the 24th Anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide.
Today, we pause to remember this atrocity against the Tutsi which was perpetrated by members of the Hutu majority government – the execution of approximately 1 million.
I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all those celebrating Easter according to the Julian calendar.
Easter is a time to remember the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, to Christians, it represents a time of re-birth. Easter is associated with special foods and is celebrated with family and friends.
