Memorializing governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 3, 2026, as Canadian Heritage Day in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to designate February 3, 2026, as Canadian Heritage Day in New York. It does not create new law but asks the Governor to formally recognize the strong economic, cultural, and border ties between New York and Canada. The resolution highlights shared trade ($37 billion annually), cross-border supply chains, and joint projects like the Champlain Hudson Power Express. It directly affects the Governor (who would issue the proclamation) and New Yorkers who may observe the day. The resolution was adopted on February 3, 2026, and will be sent to the Governor and Canadian Consul General.
