Commissioner's update for offenders and their families: April 8, 2024
I would like to wish a happy, peaceful and blessed Eid al-Fitr this week to all Muslims. This important holiday will mark the end of the month of Ramadan, a spiritual journey of reflection. Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating.
March 31 was National Indigenous Languages Day, an opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada to recognize and celebrate the very rich and diverse heritage of Indigenous languages, identities and cultures. Languages are deeply personal. I strongly believe that they connect individuals, families and communities across generations, distances, and differences.
Lastly, April 7 was World Health Day. It serves as an opportunity to remind us of the importance of taking care of our health and well-being. If you need support or health care, please know that CSC’s health services professionals are available at all institutions. You can access these resources by submitting a request for services or talking to a staff member. Please do not hesitate to reach out for services.
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. — Marie Curie
