We are standing with you, and sending love, light and healing. Deep thanks to the first responders and frontline leaders for their swift action, bravery and compassion in the face of this unimaginable tragedy.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our founder and friend Robert Redford.
Bob’s vision of a space and a platform for independent voices launched a movement that, over four decades later, has inspired generations of artists and redefined cinema in the U.S. and around the world.
Beyond his enormous contributions to culture at large, we will miss his generosity, clarity of purpose, curiosity, rebellious spirit, and his love for the creative process.
We are humbled to be among the stewards of his remarkable legacy, which will continue to guide the Institute in perpetuity.

True North Strong and Free
Today, on the 158th anniversary of Canada’s founding and the 60th anniversary of our iconic Maple Leaf, we honour both a nation—and a promise.
Our flag is more than a symbol. It embodies our values, our resilience and our sovereignty. It represents the generations who built this country—and those who are shaping our future.
In a world marked by uncertainty and challenge, it remains a powerful beacon of unity, hope and possibility. It reminds us of who we are: a people who rise together in the face of adversity to build something greater.
And it shows the world what it truly means to be the true North—strong, free, unbreakable and unapologetically sovereign.
We are a nation of builders and believers, of dreamers, doers and disruptors. A country shaped by people from every walk of life—entrepreneurs and Elders, innovators and artists, scientists and storytellers, educators and youth, policymakers and pioneers—each one forging change and helping to build the Canada we are becoming.
Every day, I am inspired by the amazing people driving change in our economy, society and world. Here in Canada’s Capital, I see it firsthand through the founders, companies and partners we are privileged to collaborate with at @Invest_Ottawa
Across the country, I witness the power of people working side by side, together with us and many others, to address our greatest challenges and seize new opportunities.
Our greatest strength as a nation has always been—and will always be—our people. Canadians from every walk of life bring bold ideas, deep talent, and unwavering courage to everything they do. They are building our Canada of tomorrow—one where prosperity, opportunity and innovation are shared across generations.
As we honour our nation today, we honour them. We honour the vision of a country where every person has the opportunity to grow, contribute and fulfil their dreams. We honour the important steps we’ve taken—and the critical work still ahead.
This is our moment. Together, we can:
• Build the strongest, most inclusive economy in the G7
• Put innovation to work for good—driving opportunity in every region
• Create lasting prosperity, with no one left behind
• Take meaningful steps on the path to Truth and Reconciliation
• Show the world what it means to lead with integrity, empathy and bold ambition
As the Maple Leaf rises here in the Capital and from coast to coast to coast, it reminds us of what we hold:
• The power to lead boldly with vision
• The responsibility to learn from our past and build a better tomorrow for all
• The fortitude to create a future worthy of this sovereign nation we are so fortunate to call home
Thank you to every human realizing this vision.
Every day, we will show the world what it truly means to be Canadian. We are resilient. We are united. We are sovereign—and unstoppable.
