Statement by PC Leader Patrick Brown on Lunar New Year
Lunar New Year is celebrated across Ontario and around the world, particularly by members of the vibrant Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and other Asian communities.
Whether known as Chinese New Year, Seollal, or Tet, this holiday brings together families and friends in the spirit of celebration and hope for a prosperous new year. This coming year marks the Year of the Monkey, which is characterized by creativity, dynamism and intelligence.
I have always enjoyed the unique traditions that are associated with the arrival of the Lunar New Year, including parades, festive meals, fireworks and the exchange of gifts such as ‘lucky pockets.’
As Leader of the PC Party of Ontario, I extend my best wishes to everyone gathering to celebrate the Lunar New Year across our province and I look forward to joining you at the many community events that will be taking place in the coming weeks.
Members of the Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese communities contribute to our province’s diversity and enrich us with cultures and traditions that help to bring us together and make our province so unique.
恭喜發財! Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!!
Kung Hey Fat Choi! Happy Lunar New Year!
