I would like to convey my warmest greetings to the readers of TORJA as you celebrate the New Year.
This festive occasion provides a chance to reflect upon the past year and to look ahead with hope and optimism. As we gather with loved ones, let us embrace the spirit of the
holiday season and demonstrate compassion and kindness to those less fortunate, in Canada and around the world.
This celebration also offers an opportunity to recognize the important contributions that members of the Japanese Canadian community make to our national fabric and to
highlight their role in making our country the diverse and inclusive place we call
home.
I wish everyone a Happy New Year.
The Right Honourable Mark Carney, P.C., O.C., M.P.
Prime Minister of Canada
