Canada is there for the people of Sri Lanka as they recover from devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah. Today, I announced $1M in aid through the @redcrosscanada and @humcoalition, to provide life-saving aid such as food, water, and shelter to those that need it most.

The Olympic Cauldron was lit with a burning arrow on this day at Barcelona 1992. 🔥
As archery kicks off today at #Paris2024, we're throwing back to that unforgettable moment.🏹✨

Black July: Over 3,000 senselessly murdered, 100,000 displaced, Tamil-owned properties looted and set on fire = loss over $300M USD, prompting a large exodus of Tamils from Sri Lanka. Lear more about this genocidal event at blackjuly83.com or @ the informational exhibit.

Our most FAQ is "What does CTC do?" Here is a snap shot of what we accomplished just through 2022, thanks to our volunteers, donors and supporters. We look forward to continuing to build in 2023. #Tamil

This is how we all need to see the world we live in.
Even if we are not the ones who created the mess, we need to take initiative in cleaning it up.
Why? Because everything and everyone is connected.

I was honored to represent @townofws at the Canadian Tamil Congress' Thai Pongal & Tamil Heritage Month Dinner on Saturday. The Tamil community in Stouffville has more than doubled in the past four years. I am grateful for their contribution to the cultural mosaic of Stouffville.
