Statement from Mayor Leal on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day
Today, we join our Francophone community in celebrating Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, a day that honours the rich cultural heritage and vibrant traditions of French Canadians.
On Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, Francophones across the country show their pride in their French culture, celebrating their language and traditions.
Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day is more than just a celebration; it is a recognition of the historical and cultural contributions of the Francophone community to our city and our country. Our community is enriched by the traditions, language, and spirit of our Francophone neighbours.
May this day inspire us to continue fostering a community that values and respects all cultures and traditions.
On behalf of the City of Peterborough, I extend my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day.
Canadian Heritage: Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day is a Celebrate Canada day
