Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
sent the following message to the Baha'i community of Canada,
celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Birth of Baha'u'llah.
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following
statement to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Baha’u’llah:
“Today, we join the Bahá’í community in Canada and around the world to
celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Baha’u’llah, the
prophet and founder of the Bahá’í faith.
“Baha’u’llah’s teachings aim to inspire respect, as well as to promote
diversity and inclusion, gender equality, and education for all –
values that we hold dear as a country.
“Canada’s diversity is one of our greatest strengths and sources of
pride. This year, as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of
Confederation, I invite all Canadians to reflect on how they can put
into practice these values of openness and
respect.
“Sophie and I extend our best wishes to all those celebrating this
historic milestone for the Bahá’í faith.”
