Celebrating community on Canada Day

Whitby, Ontario – The following statement is being issued on behalf of John Henry, Regional Chair and Chief Executive Officer for The Regional Municipality of Durham:

“Today (July 1), people across the country will come together to celebrate the place we call home, and the Canada we aspire for.

Durham is a diverse, inclusive and vibrant region, rich in community spirit and pride. It’s a place where we support the local businesses that fuel our economy and shape our cultural identity; uplift organizations working to improve the lives of residents; and celebrate the people who make our neighbourhoods thrive.

Whether you're taking part in local celebrations, enjoying time with friends and family, or simply reflecting on our history and what it means to be Canadian, let today be a reminder of all we’ve accomplished, and the future we’re building together.

Happy Canada Day!”
