Happy 142nd birthday Canada as thousand crowded at Mississauga City Hall, Living Art Center and the Central Library to celebrate Canada Day. By 12:30pm they were long line at the wall climbing, and definitely where there is free food the line were even longer mainly due to the generosity of our Sikh community and a big thank you to Bhai Ghaniya Association of Canada Inc. The leader of the association told me that their mission statement are as stated by their founding leader Bhai Joginder SIngh Ji Talwara: -
“Exhortation of Guru Gobind Singh, the apostle of, "Treat all Human beings as equal" to Bhai Ghaniya Ji to continue providing medical aid along with serving water to the injured in the battlefield of Anandpur Sahib without any kind of discrimination between friend and foe became the foundation of service to the ailing humanity, some 159 years before the establishment of Red Cross Society. As a result numerous organizations christened after Bhai Ghaniya are now being run in the service of mankind by the Sikhs at the various places throughout the world.”
At 1:00 pm all three level of governments have representatives on the main stage to officially start the Canada day celebration MC by Mr. Jake Dheer. Followed by a short speech from our beloved Mayor Hazel McCallion. Our Mayor thanks all the volunteers for their dedication and hard work making this year celebration a success. She said, “not the Mayor, nor the council can do it without the volunteers and the sponsor” in making this year Canada Day celebration happen. She encouraged all who attended today function to participate in the community by volunteering their time.
At the same token Mr. Jake Dheer challenge everyone in attendance to respect our national anthem and flag. Jake may not be the Canadian idol but he plan to join Mississauga very own Ms. Michelle Madiera singing O’Canada.
This year Canada day committee chair Councillor Carolyn Parish welcome the crowd to this year City Centre Canada day celebration and thank all the sponsor for the generous contribution.
There were so many activities going on that it is impossible to detail them on paper. If you did not attend this year Canada day party you certainly missed a lot. Although the firework were slow to start but what a spectacular firework set to music presented by Metro Food at its best.
