Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 3, 2025, as Canadian Heritage Day in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to designate February 3, 2025, as Canadian Heritage Day in New York State. It commemorates New York's economic, cultural, and historical ties with Canada, highlighting $50 billion in annual trade, 800 Canadian-owned businesses in the state, and cross-border initiatives like the Champlain Hudson Power Express. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes existing partnerships through a ceremonial proclamation. It was adopted by the legislature and will be sent to the Governor and Canadian Consulate.
