"Today, the people of Pakistan and communities in Canada and around the world are celebrating Pakistan independence Day – the 72nd anniversary of Pakistan becoming an indepenent state.

Let us celebrate and reflect on the immense contributions the Pakistani-Canadian community have made to our society and to the Canadian fabric. As neighbours, colleagues and friends, their vibrant culture enrichess the Canadian identity from coast to coast to coast.
