As Citizenship Week continues, we had the pleasure of hearing why Sara Keshmiri, an immigrant from Iran and DIVERSEcity staff member, loves Canada: “For me, being Canadian means being safe and free ... and accepting all cultures,” she shares. And that’s what makes Canada — Canada. A place where people from all walks of life can share stories and experiences, weaving together the colourful tapestry of our community. The beauty of Canada can be found in its rivers and mountains, in its trees and nature — but it’s the people who make Canada home.
