Today we celebrate the 69th anniversary of India’s Independence. On this day in 1947, India claimed its independence from British rule and began to make its significant mark in the world.

This occasion will be celebrated by many Canadians, with roots in India, now living in Don Valley West and across Canada. I send my warmest wishes to you all.

Canada draws pride, inspiration and strength from our diversity. Together let us celebrate the vibrant Indian community and its immense contributions to making Canada a greater country.
