One Year Anniversary: Remembering a Historic Event in Richmond Hill

Oct 1, 2023

Exactly one year ago, a remarkable moment unfolded in Richmond Hill, when 50,000 people came together for a powerful cause. Today, we commemorate this historic day, celebrating the unity and dedication of our community.

I had the privilege of hosting a press conference to pay tribute to all those who played a pivotal role in making this monumental event a reality. It was a heartfelt occasion as we unveiled a plaque to honor their unwavering commitment.

While I was proud to be part of the effort, it’s essential to acknowledge that the true heroes are the organizers and every individual who joined us in this groundbreaking event. Their passion, determination, and belief in the cause were the driving forces behind our success.

On this occasion, we also take a moment to remember the lives of those like Mahsa Amini who have tragically lost their lives in the pursuit of basic human rights and freedoms. Their sacrifices remind us of the privileges we enjoy here in Canada and inspire us to continue advocating for justice.

This event will forever hold a special place in Richmond Hill’s history as the largest peaceful rally ever witnessed in York Region. It stands as a testament to the power of unity and the strength of our community.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Minister Michael Parsa and MP Ali Ehsassi for their support, not only during the ceremony but also in the lead-up to this momentous event last year. Your presence and dedication were instrumental in making this day a reality.

As we reflect on this historic day, let us rekindle the spirit of unity and continue to work towards a better future for all. Together, we can make a difference.
