‘Big milestone': Winnipeg welcomes 30 new Canadians in July 1 citizenship ceremony
It was Ruchira Senevirathne's dream to become a Canadian citizen, and it was even more special for him to have it land on Canada Day. 'Canada means a lot of opportunities. It's a great country with great people, especially in Winnipeg where everyone is so kind,' Senevirathne said. 'We feel like it's home.' The 39-year-old, his wife and eight-year-old son were among a group of 30 new Canadians in Assiniboine Park on Tuesday who raised their right hand and took the citizenship oath. Canadian diversity was on full display, with 12 different countries represented during the ceremony.

(Matthew Frank / Free Press) Senevirathne moved from Sri Lanka with his family six years ago so his wife Savani could study computer science at The University of Winnipeg and so his son could get a good education. Senevirathne is proud his wife graduated university and his entire family are now Canadian citizens. He said it's a 'big milestone.' He said he fell in love with Winnipeg from the moment they first arrived and enjoyed watching his son learn English and adapt to the culture, despite moving from tropical weather to Manitoba's winters. 'We feel so welcome and we have a very good community,' Senevirathne said. Dionne Clarke, 61, also signed the papers to become a new citizen. She moved to Winnipeg from Jamaica in 2017 so she could be closer to her son Nicklaus and her grandchildren. 'It's really special. I'm just so excited,' she said. 'While I've been here, it's been good, and I hope it gets better with time.' When she arrived in Winnipeg, she experienced the snow for the first time with her grandchildren. 'We had very good times. Learning to shovel the snow, because we don't have that back home, and learning to dress up for the cold was all super fun,' Clarke said with a chuckle.

(Matthew Frank / Free Press) Clarke said she came to Canada hoping to start now phase of her life as she plans to retire from working as a home care support worker. Since moving, living in the city has changed her for the better and helped her show more humility to those around her, she said. Nicklaus, 34, sat beside his mother, clutching two Canadian flags, to support her as she crossed the stage to accept her citizenship. He also came to Winnipeg in 2017, and is a citizen himself. 'It's almost like the roles are reversed. She would be proud to see me graduating or achieving something,' he said. 'I get the chance now to be proud of her, seeing her achieve and being granted citizenship.' He said it was fate that his family ended up in Winnipeg — initially, they had no plans to settle here. But when his wife was considering attending culinary school, the city came up as the best choice. 'You can try to leave Winnipeg, but it just keeps pulling you back in,' Nicklaus said.

Canada is always seen as a friendly country and there's never any backlash when saying you're a Canadian, he said. Amid the tariff war with the U.S., and President Donald Trump's repeated comments on making Canada the 51st state, Nicklaus said he's proud to call Canada home with his mother and it's special to see how united and patriotic the country has become. Dionne Clark and her son Nicklaus take the oath of citizenship. (Matthew Frank / Free Press) Despite Canadians being known as friendly people, Nicklaus said that shouldn't be mistaken for being 'pushovers.' 'We have a saying back home, 'Don't take my kindness for weakness,'' Nicklaus said.

‘Every step counts': Runners raise awareness for residential school survivors on Canada Day
Runners tie orange ribbons and messages around the St. Albert Healing Garden gazebo at the end of fourth annual Run for Reconciliation on July 1, 2025. (CTV News Edmonton/Sean McClune) A rippling sea of orange was seen in St. Albert Tuesday as over 500 people showed up to run and walk to raise awareness for residential school survivors. The Run for Reconciliation began at the Lions Park at 9 a.m. on Canada Day and ended at the St. Albert Healing Garden – about a three to five kilometre stretch. Amanda Patrick, the founding organizer of the run, said the event is to honour and remember those impacted by residential schools. 'The reason we do it on Canada Day, and why we wear orange, is to say that we want to honour those residential school survivors, honour those children that never made it home, and honour the families that live with the intergenerational trauma,' said Patrick at Tuesday's event.

(CTV News Edmonton/Sean McClune) 'Canada Day is a good day to do it because we love this country and we want to celebrate it, but we also want to honour and remember the past.' Patrick started the run in 2021 after the discovery of 215 potential unmarked graves at the Kamloops Residential School in B.C. 'I felt very impacted by that and wanted to do something,' said Patrick. 'And then it turned into an annual event.' Patrick said more and more people are participating year after year. In 2024, there were about 400 participants – today, the number climbed to over 500. Orange ribbons were provided to participants to carry while they ran or walked along the route. After arriving at the Healing Garden, people tied their ribbons around gazebo posts, and some attached notes to them.

(CTV News Edmonton/Sean McClune) Hazel McKennitt, a 77-year-old residential school survivor has been coming to the run every year since its inception. 'It makes us stronger, it keeps us going,' said McKennitt, who went to a residential school in Manitoba from when she was 10 years-old to 16. 'Child welfare is still an extension of residential schools, the trauma is still an extension of residential schools, and it's going to continue if we don't tell the truth about residential schools,' said McKennitt. This year the run raised funds for the Poundmaker's Lodge Treatment Centre in St. Albert. The centre is an Indigenous cultural and spiritual-based addiction and mental health treatment facility.

(CTV News Edmonton/Sean McClune) 'A lot of the people that visit their organization have suffered from intergenerational trauma, and so we really wanted to bring the funds we raise home,' said Patrick. In June, a fire damaged the treatment centre, temporarily displacing clients. 'The funds this year are needed even more than ever,' said Patrick. Nearly $4,000 had been raised as of Tuesday afternoon, with more donations expected until the end of the day. Donations can be made here.
