In a world where achieving goals is a universal pursuit, the Remai Modern in Saskatoon hosted a remarkable event – a citizenship ceremony. At this Enhanced Citizenship Ceremony, ICC celebrated not only individual accomplishments, but also the power of collective aspirations. This extraordinary gathering served as a reminder that setting and achieving goals is an essential part of our human experience.

Presiding Official Major Mark Rosin administered the oath of citizenship and celebrated 30 individuals from 8 countries as Canadian citizens.

The heart of the event revolved around individuals sharing their stories at ICC’s signature roundtable discussions. They spoke of their goals when recounting their journeys, filled with challenges and triumphs, setbacks and successes. These stories highlighted the determination, perseverance, and resilience required to turn dreams into reality.

“It was my dream to start my own business and build my own house and Canada provided me with that opportunity and I’m forever grateful for this.” – New Canadian Citizen

The ceremony at the Remai Modern in Saskatoon was more than just a gathering; it was a celebration of the humanity’s boundless capacity to dream, to work diligently, and to achieve great success. Against the backdrop of artistic beauty and diverse aspirations, attendees were reminded that goals, both personal and collective, are the driving force behind innovation, progress, and positive change.
