    Minister Kenney Offers Best Wishes to Armenian Orthodox Christians
    Celebrating Christmas


    OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 5, 2009) - The Honourable Jason
    Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism,
    issued the following statement on the celebration of Christmas by
    Armenian Orthodox Christians:

    "I am pleased to offer my very best wishes as Armenian Orthodox
    Christians prepare to celebrate Christmas.

    Armenian Orthodox Christians will celebrate Christmas on January 6th,
    as they have for more than 1,700 years. Christmas is a time of
    profound importance and a time when rich cultural traditions are
    observed and shared by families and communities.

    We are very fortunate to live in a country that enjoys peace and
    stability, and where individuals have the freedom to practice the
    religion of their choice. A wide range of religions and traditions are
    followed from coast to coast and have made Canada richer and stronger.

    As Minister for Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, I
    extend sincere and warm wishes during the Christmas celebration and
    throughout this New Year."
