Konuyla ilgili Federasyon Başkanı Mehmet Bor İngilizce olarak yayınlamış olduğu bildiride şunları söyledi:
“Dear ERC members,
You are kindly expected to host the visiting politicians and the guests from other communities at this event (and other similar events across Canada) to promote this unique Turkish Multicultural Children’s Day in Canada, which is a legacy of the great leader Ataturk.
Our ultimate goal should be to get it adapted by all levels of governments and their schools/institutions, as a contribution of the Turkish/Turkic community to Canada’s great multicultural mosaic.
Is that feasible? Well, is there any politician who could dare to oppose such a positive initiative in Canada? If the answer is NO, then it should be perfectly feasible.
Our political will and degree of determination for success will be the only key. If we can’t sell this unmatched great Turkish tradition in Canada, we can’t sell anything else for sure.
If we can get united around this unique national value and act together, we can succeed one day I belive.
