She commends them for their efforts in enhancing their communities, preserving nature, fostering connections between cultures, and amplifying the voices of the marginalized.

Simon calls on people to continue building a more inclusive world and sustainable environment for Canada’s children.

She has invited Canadians to share their hopes for the future, and pledges to share the responses in the days to come.
