Summary

Learn English with Paul Colommely. The message of Eid resonates in this room, across the city, and I may say it should resonate with all Canadians. The lessons and values of Eid are the same. Canada is a diverse country, proud home to different languages, different beliefs, different cultures. Those are differences that make us unique and make us strong. We can pray differently, we can gather in different places of worship, but all of us come together. The values of community, of generosity, and yes, of sacrifice are Canadian values.
