This past Canada Day I was witness to a very special ceremony. It was the first time I have ever witnessed a citizenship ceremony. Being born in Canada I have taken for granted more than once my citizenship. I have never know war, bigotry, corrupt police etc. I have grown up in a country that embraces foreign cultures and beliefs. We welcome people from all walks of life and from all countries around the world. All we ask is they learn our official languages, obey our laws and swear allegiance to the Queen of England. By the looks of these new Canadian's faces, this wouldn't be a problem.
I was moved by the ceremony and was so glad that I got to witness it. It got me thinking who in my family stood up and took the oath to become a Canadian?
