The decision to host the ceremony at the John M.S. Lecky UBC Boathouse, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pacific coastline, was deliberate and meaningful. This iconic venue symbolizes the spirit of community and the shared values of inclusivity and diversity that define Canada.

To conclude the ceremony, Jeff Bryant delivered a wonderful performance of the song “What a Wonderful World,” adding a beautiful musical touch before leading the new citizens in singing the national anthem.
