The first of July is special to all Canadians because it is Canada’s Birthday.

This year is extra special because my daughter and her boy friend will be with my wife and I celebrating Canada Day. Spending time with family on this special day makes the day!

Canada is 156 years young! As a Canadian, I have so much to be grateful for; I believe that Canada offers more to its citizens than any country in the world. We are not the biggest, richest, nor most influential, but in my opinion, we are the best! After spending 36 years of my life protecting this great country, I still marvel at its majestic and pristine beauty.

Happy Canada Day!

I am a grateful Canadian!
