My heart also turns to those struggling with loss: those in marginalized communities and all affected by the terrorist attack in London, Ontario this past June.
And to all experiencing trauma and pain from the discovery of unmarked graves at former Residential Schools across Canada, this is indeed a moment of national reckoning that illustrates just how much work remains to realize the imperative of reconciliation.
But significantly, Premier Davis’s message is one of faith in our collective future.
And he is not alone in expressing such sentiment.
During the recent COP26 Climate Change Conference, Her Majesty the Queen defined true statesmanship as acting “for the people of tomorrow … for our children and our children’s children”.
As we set our gaze on the coming year, we look forward to the historic occasion of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.
In recognition of her lifetime of service, may we draw from her example both inspiration and purpose, to fulfill our promise to the Ontario of tomorrow, to protect the fragile planet on which we depend and to serve our children’s children.
I wish you a joyous holiday. May the year ahead bring you good health and happiness.
