Prime Minister of Canada warmest greetings to celebrating Chinese New Year

Hereis the Prime Minister of Canada warmest greetings to celebrating Chinese New Year

Dear Friends:

I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to everyone celebrating Chinese New Year.

This festive occasion brings family and friends together to reflect on the past year and to wish each other good luck and prosperity. Across Canada and around the world, Chinese communities will look ahead with optimism as they usher in the Year of the Rat, a symbol of new beginnings and success.

This holiday also offers a wonderful opportunity to recognize the tremendous contributions Chinese Canadians have made, and continue to make, to our nation in all fields of endeavour. Let us continue to celebrate the diversity and spirit of inclusion that make our country strong and vibrant.

On behalf of the Government of Canada, I offer my best wishes for a Happy New Year.

Yours sincerely,

The Rt. Hon. Justin P. J. Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada
