Bill > HR456

This resolution designates July 1, 2026, as "Canada Day" in Pennsylvania to honor the strong and ongoing relationship between the Commonwealth and Canada. The resolution highlights that this relationship is built on shared values, economic ties, and geographic proximity, noting that Canada is Pennsylvania's largest international trading partner, supporting numerous jobs through trade in various sectors like energy, manufacturing, and agriculture. It also emphasizes the importance of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence region, which includes both Pennsylvania and Canadian provinces, as a major economic hub, and points to intertwined supply chains, collaboration in energy development, academic partnerships, and cultural exchanges as further evidence of their close connection. The resolution encourages Pennsylvanians to observe this day and directs that copies be sent to the Consulate General of Canada and other relevant partners to reaffirm Pennsylvania's commitment to continued friendship and cooperation.
