CANADA, land of opportunity, owes
much of its strength and vitality,
and the rich quality of its democ-
racy, to the blending of racial and
cultural heritages from many lands.
It is ;a. matter of pride to all
Canadians that so many races,
without sacrificing their national
characteristics, have united them-
selves into one great citizenship —
the Canadian Family.
Ever since the days of Jacques
Cartier, famous French explorer of
the 16th Century, Canadians of
tee
French descent have played a
.leading role in moulding Canada's
destiny. Today, French Canadians
are our largest racial group
representing almost one third of
Canada's population.
Distinguished in the arts and
sciences and outstanding in their
chosen professions, they have made
a major contribution to Canada's
progress while their thrift and
devotion have earned for "les
Canadiens" the wholesome respect
of their fellow citizens.
