Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 1, 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 resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially designate July 1, 2025, as "Canada Day" in New York State. It symbolically celebrates New York's economic, cultural, and historical ties with Canada, citing factors like $28.9 billion in annual exports, 445 miles of shared border, and 801 Canadian businesses operating in the state. As a non-binding resolution (not a law), it does not create new policy or affect any regulations, but serves as a ceremonial recognition of the partnership. The resolution was adopted by the Assembly and will be sent to the Governor and Canadian Consulate for consideration.
