This July 1 is not like any other July 1.
\nThis year we celebrate Canada\u2019s 150th birthday!
\nThe festivities will take place from St John\u2019s to Victoria, from Yellowknife to York Region, and all parts in between.
\nAs we celebrate Canada\u2019s 150th birthday, we will honour the generations of Canadians who chose to make Canada their home and came together to shape the nation we have today.
\nWe will celebrate the courage of those who came before us, and the hard work and ambition of Canadians \u2013 like you \u2013 who have made Canada a valued nation not only at home, but also in the world.
\nCanada 150 inspires all of us to be part of something bigger than ourselves as we build the country for the next 150 years.
\nOn July 1, we will unite as Canadians, from coast to coast to coast, and together we can imagine a vision \u2014a big bold vision \u2014 of what our country will become. <\/p>\n

CANADA 150 CITIZEN RECOGNITION
\nDo you know a Canadian who has contributed to our country in a meaningful way? Perhaps a friend, a neighbour, a colleague, or even yourself, who has provided thought leadership, invented leading edge technology, or fostered innovation in Canada?
\nHave you changed the way society thinks about a certain topic, or contributed your skills to further the intellectual capital of our great nation?
\nAs part of the sesquicentennial celebrations, I will be presenting awards to citizens in our constituency who have contributed to something bigger than themselves, bigger than our community, who have made a contribution to the advancement of Canada.
\nAs your Member of Parliament, for Canada 150, I will be recognizing thought leaders from Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill who have committed themselves to projects or ideas that will position our nation for continued success for the next 150 years.
\nThe awards ceremony will occur in the fall, but I encourage you to nominate yourself or someone you know by contacting our constituency office for a nomination form.<\/p>\n
