I live in a neighbourhood where I drive down the street and I see a kaleidoscope of nationalities, cultures and beliefs. We nod to each other. We go about our day. We are a neighbourhood.

We live in peace. We allow each other to be. We allow each other to flourish, to excel, to live.

We have available to us choice, space, nourishment, safety, freedom.

I give thanks for this.

Happy Canada Day.
