    County welcomes new Canadians at official Citizenship Ceremony

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Midhurst/September 20, 2024 – Capping off the County’s Week of Welcome, earlier today the County joined with Canada’s Ministry of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada to welcome 39 new Canadians with an official Citizenship Ceremony. These ceremonies serve as an important moment for new Canadians as they receive their official Canadian Citizenship.

    Today’s ceremony saw 39 new Canadians from 20 different countries receive their Canadian citizenship. Many of these new Canadians have been living in communities throughout Simcoe County while they earned their Canadian Citizenship.

    “It brings me tremendous joy to share in this special day with so many new Canadians who have worked so hard to gain their citizenship in the country that they call ‘home’, and it is a distinct honour to celebrate this important day in so many people’s lives,” said Warden Basil Clarke. “These ceremonies serve as an important reminder to our entire community of the distinct privilege that we have in being able to identify ourselves as Canadians. Seeing the pride on people’s faces as they are officially sworn is as a new Canadian is an experience that I will never forget.”

    This ceremony is the second of its kind hosted by the County of Simcoe, with the previous one being held in County Council Chambers in June 2023. It is just one of the many events that have been happening during the 2024 Week of Welcome. For details, visit simcoe.ca/WeekofWelcome.

    The County of Simcoe is pleased to welcome new Canadians to our communities by hosting this ceremony, organized by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.
