Statement from New Democrat Leader Nycole Turmel on the beginning of Hanukkah
On behalf of New Democrats across Canada I wish you a Hanukkah filled with joy and hope for a bright future.
The next eight nights are a time for remembering the blessings that we have and the accomplishments of those who came before us. It is a time to remind ourselves of challenges to overcome, to reflect on the beliefs we hold dear, and to re-affirm our commitment to a better world for everyone.
Spending time with loved ones over this holiday season is one of the greatest gifts that the Festival of Lights affords us. May you cherish these moments together, and create precious memories for years to come.
Again, I extend my best wishes to you and yours. May this be the beginning of a Happy Hanukkah!
