On April 4, 2017, Carleton University co-hosted a special Canadian citizenship ceremony for 40 new Canadians. The group included 11 former and current Carleton students and two professors.
The April 4 ceremony doubled as a celebration of Carleton’s 75th anniversary, and was organized in partnership with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC).
“Canada is special because of the people who are here,” said Dr. Runte.
Prior to the swearing-in ceremony, candidates engaged in roundtable discussions about what Canada and becoming a Canadian citizen means to them. A representative from each table shared their thoughts with the assembled crowd.
