This blog is not directly related to our main goal here at WA but I just want to share some milestone events that our family celebrated. Celebrating our journey and success both in-and-out of our WA activities is essential for us to function joyfully, effectively and revitalize ourselves in order to achieve our goals. Today my family had our Canadian Citizenship Oath Taking considered as final step towards being a Canadian and as a milestone embracing our new second motherland.

As in any other country, achieving Canadian citizenship is no easy task as you have left your family, friends and homeland behind. You have met the requirements for immigration and have worked hard to get established in your second home. As many have chosen to migrate to this country for various reasons such as opportunity, sanctuary, equality, freedom, love, prosperity or adventure. The vast majority achieve their goals and more.

Today, we took our oath as a new Canadians, with all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Hundreds of years ago, French and British pioneers partnered with the First Nations and laid the foundation of Canada. More recently, our country has been settled by immigrants and refugees from all over the world . Generations have found freedom, democracy, prosperity and security.

From our Atlantic shores, across forest and plain, lakes and mountains, to the Pacific Ocean and up to the Arctic Circle, Canadians have built a prosperous society based on ordered liberty, enterprise, hard work and fair play. Canada's history, symbols and institutions have been shaped by many events such as World Wars, and by individuals. Today, our history, symbols and tradition are ours to cherish. Our success comes from our dedication to our founding values: freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. As Canadian citizen we will help enrich our society and strengthen our shared identity.
