Re-Affirmation Ceremony: Canada and Victoria Park

re-affirmation ceremony: Larry Gravill, recipient of Order of Canada and local citizenship judge, will kick off the festival as he leads a re-affirmation ceremony, according to CBC. This gives people who were born in Canada or became Canadian citizens an opportunity to affirm their commitment to Canada. In celebration of the festival's 50 years, there will be several new things happening this weekend at Victoria Park. When someone becomes a citizen, they need to take an oath, said Lucia Harrison, CEO of the Multicultural Centre in Kitchener. Also new this year will be new interactive kids activities put together by the Kitchener Public Library and the Waterloo Public Library at the kid's tent. This is really exciting because many Canadian born have never done that. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
