Greetings from the Prime Minister
I am delighted to extend my best wishes to the Chinese community in Canada on the occasion of the Chinese New Year.
值此华人新年之际，我愉快地向加拿大华裔社区的居民致以最诚挚的问候。
Across the country, Canadians of Chinese descent are gathering to honour tradition by ushering in the Year of the Ox. This celebration is a wonderful opportunity to both mark time-honoured customs and share these proud commemorations with fellow Canadians. As a young nation, Canada draws tremendous strength from the rich history that shapes our vibrant cultural landscape.
加拿大各地华裔聚集在一起，迎来牛年的传统新年庆祝活动，这是一个极好的机会，与其他加拿大人共同庆祝具有悠久历史的华人新年，共享这些令人自豪的风俗活动。作为一个年轻的国家，加拿大从其他族裔富饶的历史中汲取能量，使加国文化充满活力。
As you mark the beginning of the Year of the Ox, I hope that you will celebrate the fortitude and hard work that characterize the Canadian Chinese community and look forward with enthusiasm to building on your successes in the upcoming year. I am certain that today’s joyous festivities will set the tone for a prosperous, healthy, and happy year ahead.
在牛年到来之际，我希望你们能为华人社区所特有的勤劳和坚毅而庆贺，并希望在未来的一年用你们的热情创建你们的成功。今年的庆祝活动一定会开启各位幸福，健康和繁荣的一年。
On behalf of the Government of Canada and my wife Laureen, I wish you a very Happy New Year.
我代表加拿大政府和我的妻子祝福华人新年快乐。
Sincerely,
The Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P.
Prime Minister of Canada
