New City of Mississauga Council inauguration Ceremony at the Living Art Centre on December 2nd. 2014

December 2nd 2014 at Living Art Centre Mississauga

          This year mark the end of Mayor Hurricane Hazel McCallion era an usher a new Mayor and former member of federal Parliament Bonnie Crombie. Although Mayor Crombie knew it is almost impossible to fit in the shoe left behind after Madam Hazel McCallion she hope to achieve the same respect as what Hazel has attained. One most obvious difference with Mayor Crombie at the helm would be a more moderate and compromise Mississauga council compared to the combative and aggressive dictatorial management style of Mayor Hazel.This approach from Mayor Crombie will definitely usher in a more cooperative and collective ideas for the progressive City of  Mississauga.

            With Mayor Hazel retiring after more than three decades at the helm in Mississauga  and councillor Kathy Mahoney retiring earlier while Mayor Crombie replacing Mayor Hazel at the helm there is two new councillors for the two wards will have to be filled. As the same time Mr. Frank Dale from ward 4 resigning his seat to run and successfully elected as the Peel Regional Council Mayor, his seat is now vacant waiting to be fill after the election in the ward.

2014 Citizenship Court Ceremony

Friday October 31st. 2014 at 3085A Glen Erin Drive, Mississauga, Ontario

It has been a long time since the last time I was with the Hon. Senator Victor Oh attending a citizenship court ceremony. As usual I am very glad to have the opportunity to attend this ceremony along with hundred and four new Canadians from twenty seven countries accepting their citizenship's today at the nine o'clock morning court session.

Today ceremony was presided by Hon. Judge Rafiq Rokerya of Mississauga. Than the Judge goes on to welcome everyone in the court for today ceremony and congratulate the one hundred and four newest Canadians to the great Canadian family. He also stress on the important of every Canadians that Canada is a land of great opportunity for all work hard to achieve them. He explain how his family venture into Canada as an immigrants years ago and fought hardship and determination to be successful. Likewise he also stress to the new citizen the important of taking time to volunteer in the community. Like the one hundred and four new citizens, he was once like them sitting on the the other side of the bench accepting his citizenship and was grateful that this community involvement was rewarded when he was appointed to be a citizenship Judge. 

After his encouragement the court clerk Ms. Sandy asked all in the court to rise and follow along with the Judge Rafiq Rokerya to swear the oath of allegiance of citizenship. The court clerk informed all attending the ceremony the important of saying out loud the oath to becoming a Canadian. First the oath was said in English than the second time around in French. Judge Rafiq Rokerya also reminded all that Canada is a bilingual country and it would be helpful for all Canadians to learn both languages.

Right the oath the Judge and VIP for today ceremony along with the court clerk move to the front to hand out the citizenship certificate individually to all the one hundred and four new Canadians.  With the official ceremony is almost concluded, the judge than asked the Hon. Senator Victor Oh to give a word of encouragement to the new Canadian. Like Judge Rafiq Rokerya, the Hon. Senator Victor Oh was himself an immigrant from Singapore many years ago. After building himself a very successful real estate company as well as serving as executive in a numbers of organizations in the community he was appointed to the Senate by the Hon. Prime Minister. After that all the new Canadian was asked to stand and remain standing for the national anthem "O'Canada". That conclude today ceremony as the court clerk reminded everyone to remain standing as the Hon. Judge exit the court along with all the VIP.
