六月27日是加拿大多元文化日，加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多发表声明庆祝，全文如下：
“Today, on Canadian Multiculturalism Day, we celebrate the values which set Canada apart and make our country one of the best places in the world to live.
“Respect, openness, courage, and compassion – these values have stitched together the Canadian tapestry for generations and generations. Today, the threads of our tapestry have never been stronger, brighter, or more intricate.
“今天，时值加拿大多元文化日，我们共同庆祝使加拿大与众不同、使我们国家成为世界上适合居住的地方之一的价值观。
“尊重、开放、勇气和同情心——这些价值观将加拿大凝聚编织在一起，一代又一代。今天，这些编织我们这一美丽图画的纽带比以往更爲结实、更明亮、并且更加繁盛。
“As the first country in the world to adopt a policy of multiculturalism, Canada has long recognized that we are all better off when we respect and unite behind our differences. But our work is not yet finished. We must all continue to learn about each other, embrace our diversity, and celebrate what it is to be Canadian – while learning from the mistakes in our past, and making sure never to repeat them.
“作为世界上第一个采取多元文化政策的国家，加拿大早就认识到，当我们尊重彼此的不同并因此而团结在一起时，我们大家都会更好。但我们的工作还没有完成，我们都必须继续了解彼此，拥抱我们的多元化，珍惜我们作爲加拿大人的特质——同时从过往的错误中汲取教训，保障这些错误永不再犯。
“We are also not immune to the violent and hateful extremism unfolding around the world. By calling out and standing up to divisive speech and acts, we put ourselves forward as an example – as people who treat each other with respect, champion the rights of all, and embrace diversity as a strength.
“当世界各地出现传播暴力和仇恨的极端主义影响之时，我们加拿大也无法独善其身。但是通过直接指明并抵制那些分化社会的言论和行爲，我们以身作则做出表率——我们是彼此待人以相互尊重的人、维护所有人之权利的人、是提倡将多元化视为力量的人。
“Whoever we are and wherever we come from, we all bring something unique and important to Canada. Today, and every day, let’s celebrate multiculturalism and recognize the invaluable contributions that Canadians of all backgrounds have made, and continue to make, to our country.”
“无论我们是何种人，无论我们来自何方，我们都为加拿大带来了独特而重要的贡献。今天和每一天，让我们庆祝多元文化，并弘扬所有背景的加拿大人对我们国家所做的、并继续作出的宝贵贡献。”
