Newest Citizens

51 people from 29 different countries were granted Canadian citizenship today at Ridgemont High School. The ceremony was hosted by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, in partnership with CBC Ottawa.

Much like the mandate of the CBC, these ceremonies are a reminder to everyone of the rich diversity of culture, ethnicity and languages that define Canada.

A story about the event will air tonight on CBC News Ottawa at 5, 5:30 & 6. Tune in to Ottawa Morning tomorrow between 5:30 and 8:30 a.m. on CBC Radio One 91.5 FM to hear clips from the event.
