Open house an excellent opportunity to hear from residents

Gary Anandasangaree

I would like to begin by thanking the members of the Centennial community who joined my team and me for our annual Fall Open House. Our open house is an excellent opportunity for us to hear from local residents about government programs, policies and services. I look forward to sharing the comments and suggestions made during our open house with my colleagues in Ottawa.

Local Member of Parliament, Gary Anandasangaree, hosts a number of Canada’s newest citizens at his constituency offi ce on Saturday, November 17.

Citizenship Ceremony

On Saturday, November 17,  my team and I welcomed a number of Scarborough- Rouge Park’s newest citizens to my constituency office for a special Canadian citizenship celebration. During the celebration, my office was filled laughter, warmth and the incredible stories of  a number of Canada’s newest citizens! Speaking with these proud Canadians reminded of my own journey to Canada 35 years ago. I am honoured to be part of a government that has committed itself to ensuring that all Canadians feel safe, welcome, and have an opportunity to achieve their true potential. Congratulations to those of you who attained your citizenship this year! Canada is lucky to have you!
