Prime Minister Trudeau offers greetings on the occasion of Chinese New Year
Shin Nian Kuai Le!
Happy New Year, everyone!
This month, Chinese communities in Canada and around the world mark the lunar new year.
It’s a time to celebrate new beginnings and think about our goals for the year to come.
2019 is the year of the Earth Pig, a symbol of good fortune, honesty, and success.
As friends and families kick off the new year together and celebrate new beginnings, it’s also a chance to honour the many contributions Chinese Canadians have made to our country.
From coast to coast to coast, Chinese Canadians build a stronger, more inclusive Canada every day.
From our family to yours, Sophie and I wish everyone celebrating peace, health, love, and good fortune, this year, and beyond.
Gong Hey Fat Choy!
