January 3, 2017 – Ottawa, ON –Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) hosted a special citizenship ceremony today at the Supreme Court of Canada with 26 individuals invited to kick off Canada 150 celebrations and commemorate the 70thanniversary of the Canadian Citizenship Act.
The event resembled the first Canadian citizenship ceremony held 70 years ago, on January 3, 1947, at the Supreme Court chamber. On that day, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King received the first Canadian citizenship certificate, numbered 0001.
“Throughout history, Canada’s identity has been largely shaped by the significant cultural and economic contributions of immigrants. The 70th anniversary of Canadian citizenship is an opportunity to reflect on what it means to be Canadian – the rights we enjoy, the responsibilities we share, and the diversity that makes us strong. During Canada 150 and beyond, I encourage all Canadians to celebrate their citizenship.”
The Honourable John McCallum, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
