On November 28, 2023, ICC hosted an Enhanced Citizenship Ceremony at the stunning Remai Modern in Saskatoon. Against the backdrop of the theme Celebration of Giving, this ceremony brought together 30 individuals from 10 different countries, transforming a moment of transition into a celebration of diversity and the spirit of giving.

The Remai Modern, with its contemporary allure, provided the perfect setting for the ceremony. Surrounded by a blend of international and Canadian art, each new citizen could bask in the beauty that exists around the world, as well as, at home. As Presiding Official Dr. Bill Waiser administered the oath, 30 individuals from diverse backgrounds took a significant step on their journey toward Canadian citizenship.

Beyond their individual journeys to citizenship, the chosen theme Celebration of Giving emphasized the collective responsibility new citizens undertake to contribute meaningfully to their newfound home. In trying times, we rely on our community and one another to push forward into a brighter future. As these celebrations conclude, the 30 individuals can walk into their bright future together hand in hand. This citizenship ceremony was a testament to the strength found in diversity.
