Canada 150

The Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) is a Canadian organisation that has represented the Indo-Canadian business community for the last four decades. These four decades have to be seen in the perspective of the 150 years of Canada that we celebrated earlier this month. In these decades, Canada has become a truly multicultural nation that has nurtured and nourished entrepreneurs who have made this land their home.
In celebrating Canada’s sesquicentennial we must necessarily underscore its unique place in the comity of nations. It is a land that has been made by the ingenuity of immigrants who have turned this nation into a land of hope and opportunity. It has continued to welcome people from all races and all denomination with open arms and has made them all feel welcome and wanted.
The changing dynamics of the land and participatory democracy always leads to modifications of the core principles on which nationhood is formed. In Canada’s case this change in dynamics has lead to a more open society which has treated newcomers with the respect that is both unique and unprecedented.
