Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 4, 2025, as Canada Day in the State of New York, in celebration of this great Empire State's long-standing economic and cultural relationship with Canada

This Senate resolution requests Governor Hochul to proclaim February 4, 2025, as Canada Day in New York, recognizing the state's economic and cultural ties with Canada. It cites New York's $28 billion in annual trade with Canada, 800 Canadian-owned businesses employing 58,000 New Yorkers, and cross-border initiatives like the Champlain Hudson Power Express project. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally asks the governor to issue the proclamation. It was adopted by the Senate on February 4, 2025, and will be sent to the governor and Canadian Consulate for consideration.
