Gregory Sekanyana

Gregory Sekanyana: Dressed in a red T-shirt, the 10-year-old flashes a set of white teeth often as he recounts his story in English and a smattering of the French he is learning at school. As Gregory speaks, he adjusts three flags hanging proudly but precariously in coat and shirt sleeves, according to The Chronicle Herald. It means we re settled here now, and we truly respect Canada. We ve decided this will be our home and This marks the first Canada Day that Gregory Sekanyana feels truly at home, more than six years after the fuzzy memory of his arrival from China, and a month shy of his first anniversary as a citizen of this country. When Gregory and his mother, Delphine, arrived in 2006, they lived first with another family, he said, before settling in their own apartment. Three years ago, his mother bought a house for them in Dartmouth, but it was the citizenship ceremony that marked the final piece in their homecoming, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
