PINOY TO ANO’NG SAY MO

By Estrella Tata “Tatsky” Gascon-Delos Reyes

WHAT OUR READERS SAY ABOUT THE LAST CANADA DAY 2012 CELEBRATION

Ronald Allan Go – Calgary, Alberta

“I experienced my first Canada Day in Waterton. Everybody was in the mood to celebrate as all the people are friendly and smiling as if you are one of them. The bike parade was awesome as the kids and oldies participated. The feeling of loneliness to a new place was replaced by happiness even for a day.”

Maricel Caoy Cipriaso – Calgary, Alberta

“Super fun especially with family and love ones. I enjoyed every minute of that day. I will always treasure the moment. Thank You Canada fro adopting me.”

Julita “Jules” Casuncad – Calgary, Alberta

“Can’t say much but proud to be a Canadian Citizen. Being here for 32 years, I have accomplished so much for my family. And I am thankful and honored that Canada is my second home and helped me fulfilled most of my dreams for my family.”

Russy “Shakirussy” Norma – Calgary, Alberta

The giving away of small Canada flags makes me teary-eyed because I am so proud to be here. I bring newcomers to the park and become their tourist guide because I knew the place by heart stemming from Center Street Bridge to the newly-renovated Peace Bridge.”
