Message from the Prime Minister of Canada
It is with great pleasure that I send my warmest greetings for the 7 th Annual Spice Island Cultural Festival and for the 50th Anniversary of Grenada ' s Independence .
In a country where our diversity is our biggest strength , the contributions that Grenadian Canadians have made – and continue to make every day – are truly invaluable .
And , at a time when some voices around us are focused on division , events like today ’ s that unite a community , inspires them to be proud of their heritage , and all the while recognizes the great diversity and the spirit of inclusivity that unite us as Canadians , are more important than ever before .
I would like to thank the Spice Island Cultural Day Association of Quebec ( SICDAQ ) for their tremendous work organizing this event . Canada and Grenada enjoy strong nation-to-nation and people-to-people ties , and the rich culture , customs , and traditions , of the Canadian-Grenadian community enhances and makes the fabric of our society more vibrant . As we celebrate , enjoy exquisite cuisine and showcases of your culture , today , we also make the hearts and stomachs of all Canadians fuller , and our country stronger .
Please accept my very best wishes .
