My name is Rick Savone. I'm the Consul General of Canada here in Shanghai.

我是加拿大驻上海总领事尚锐恺。

On behalf of the government of Canada I would like to wish all of the viewers of eastday.com website a very happy Chinese New Year! 恭喜发财,新年快乐!

我谨代表加拿大政府,向所有东方网网友致以农历新春祝福,恭喜发财,新年快乐!

I know this is going to be a very special year, a year of the sheep, a year that symbolizes peace and love. And I think that in China and Canada and all parts of the world we can all use a bit more peace and love in our lives.

我知道,未来的一年将是特别的一年,也就是象征和平与友爱的中国羊年。我想,中国、加拿大,以及世界各地的人们都能拥有更多和平与爱。

In the three years that I have lived here in Shanghai, it is a very special place in my heart. It is a place where Canadians tend to come first, and the land first when they come to China, and that is because Shanghai is a very special city, one that has opened its arms to the rest of the world, and one that offers the vision and model to the rest of the world, of the promise that this country offers in terms of technology, in terms of excellent food, in terms of the traditional history and culture of this city and people, and it's a place that I call home today. I enjoy living here very much. 新年快乐,恭喜发财!

我在上海有三年时间了,上海在我心里是个很特别的地方。它是来中国的加拿大人第一个想来的地方,因为它是一座很特别的城市,一座向全世界张开双臂、提供中国视野与楷模的城市,无论是在科技、美食、还是传统历史与文化方面。同时,上海也是如今被我称之为家的地方,我非常喜欢住在这里。新年快乐,恭喜发财!
