This resolution, a formal request from the legislative body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate February 3, 2026, as Canadian Heritage Day in New York State. The resolution highlights the extensive and deep connections between New York and Canada, emphasizing their shared international border, significant trade and economic ties, with Canada being New York's primary export market and employing thousands of New Yorkers through Canadian-owned companies. It also points to integrated cross-border supply chains crucial for competitiveness, mutual security and prosperity through organizations like NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), joint efforts in public health, and a shared commitment to addressing climate change, exemplified by projects like the Champlain Hudson Power Express which will bring clean energy from Quebec.
