He is a very proud Canadian Scot and family man. Here in Canada, George served on boards and as director of the Canadian Real Estate Association, because it is community that matters most to George.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6313377\" data-originallang=\"en\">Just two years after arriving in Canada, he co-founded Rexdale Presbyterian Church, a touchstone in our community. Two decades later, he co-founded the Rexdale Presbyterian Senior Citizens Corporation, which today is home to 200 seniors. George is a man of strong faith, deep conviction and tremendous wit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6313378\" data-originallang=\"en\">I hope to see George for Robbie Burns day, share a poem and song, and reminisce about the Highlands. However, for now, I thank him for his service to Canada and wish him a happy birthday.</p>",

Il est tr\u00e8s fier d'\u00eatre Canadien et \u00c9cossais et c'est un homme d\u00e9vou\u00e9 \u00e0 sa famille. Depuis qu'il est au Canada, George a \u00e9t\u00e9 membre de divers conseils d'administration et directeur de l'Association canadienne de l'immeuble, car la communaut\u00e9 est ce qui lui tient le plus \u00e0 c\u0153ur.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6313377\" data-originallang=\"en\">Deux ans seulement apr\u00e8s son arriv\u00e9e au Canada, il a cofond\u00e9 la Rexdale Presbyterian Church, un pilier de notre communaut\u00e9. Deux d\u00e9cennies plus tard, il a cofond\u00e9 la Rexdale Presbyterian Senior Citizens Corporation, qui accueille aujourd'hui 200 personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es. George est un homme qui a une foi et des convictions profondes et tout un sens de l'humour.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6313378\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'esp\u00e8re voir George \u00e0 la f\u00eate de Robbie Burns, pour un po\u00e8me et une chanson et des souvenirs des Highlands. Cela dit, pour l'instant, je le remercie de tout ce qu'il a fait pour le Canada et je lui souhaite un joyeux anniversaire.</p>"
