A truly modern nation

Dear Editor:

Your editorial comment (Ahead of the Curve, North Shore News, June 30) that Canada Day is a meaningful recognition of things that make us great is to be lauded.

On the Canada Day long weekend I witnessed a group of Muslims praying at John Lawson Park, and met a group of Coptic Christians on the West Vancouver Seawalk glad to be away from the turmoil in Egypt.

We have so much to be thankful for, and as citizens must remain engaged to make Canada more equal and more tolerant.

We are truly a postmodern nation.
