多伦多市议员詹嘉礼对端午节发表声明
 
Today, June 7 2019, is public holiday in China as the Chinese celebrate the Duanwu Festival or Dragon Boat Festival. The Festival is also marked in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.
The Festival occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.  The occasion commemorates the life and death of the famous Chinese scholar and poet, Qu Yuan.  He was a loyal minister in the country of Chu and served the King of Chu during the Warring States Period in the third century BC.  Over time, he fell out of favour with his sovereign and was exiled.  During his exile, Qu Yuan wrote many poems to express his anger and sorrow with his sovereign and people.
When Qu Yuan learned that the country of Qin had defeated his country in battle, tied to a stone, he threw himself into the river and drowned.  The people of Chu mourned the death of Qu Yuan by tossing rice dumplings into the river – saying they were to feed fish and seafood but not to disturb Qu Yaun’s body.  To this day, rice dumplings are eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival in memory of Qu Yuan.
Toronto is a proud multicultural City that embraces a wide variety of cultures and faiths.  Our City flourishes because of the diversity of people who have chosen to make Toronto their home. It is important to recognize each and every community that plays a part in enhancing Toronto’s social and cultural landscape.
As the Newcomer’s Advocate with the City of Toronto I strongly believe that we must work to together to promote togetherness. We must Respect our newcomer communities. We must Accept our newcomer communities. We should Celebrate our diversity and Embrace our different cultures and traditions, because we are all part of the human RACE.
 
        2019年6月7日是中国的公共假期,中国人今天庆祝端午节又称龙舟节。香港、澳门、台湾、新加坡和马来西亚的华人同样庆祝这个节日。
       这个节日是在农历的五月初五,是为了纪念著名的中国学者和诗人屈原。在公元前三世纪战国时期,他是楚国的一个忠臣,为楚王服务。后来,楚王不再重用他,还把他流放。在流亡期间,屈原写了很多诗词来表达他对王室的愤恨和对人民的爱护。
       当屈原得知秦国击败了他的国家,他将自己与一块石头绑在一起,投河了。楚国人民哀悼屈原之死,把粽子扔进河里,意思是让鱼和海鲜吃粽子,不要打扰屈原的身体。直到今天,人们还在端午节吃粽子纪念屈原。
       多伦多是一个值得骄傲的多元文化城市,其中包括各种各样的文化和信仰。我们的城市之所以繁荣, 是因为多元化的人们选择以多伦多为家。重要的是每个社区都被认可,以及每个社区都给多伦多社会和文化景观增添活力。
     作为多伦多新移民的倡导者,我坚信我们必须共同努力,促进团结。我们必须尊重新移民社团。我们必须接受新移民社团。我们应该赞美我们的多样性,容纳我们不同的文化和传统,因为我们都是人。
