In the wake of this week’s tragic events that took place at a Quebec mosque, I want to extend my condolences to the victims and their families.
As the Councillor Liaison for the Burlington Inclusivity Advisory Committee, I share the view that diversity and inclusiveness is what makes our community strong. Canada has a history of diversity as it was built on immigration. My father immigrated with his family over 70 years ago. First they moved from England to South America and from there they came to Canada when he was only eleven years old.
I recently read article that said, “We are strong because of our differences, not in spite of them”. That to me is a statement that needs to be remembered. If we just take the time to get to know our newcomers we would quickly find out that we have much more in common than we realize.
