JUSTIN TRUDEAU

PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA

It is with great honour that I extend my heartiest congratulations to Polytechnique Montréal as it marks its 150th anniversary this year. For a century and a half, this institution has been at the forefront of cuttingedge research while providing some of the best education in the world.

I would know. The years I spent there were some of the most informative and inspirational ones of my life.

Even in the most difficult, unimaginable of times, Polytechnique Montréal has stood strong. The face of resilience; an inspiration for us all.

Today, as immense global challenges spread far and wide, education is the key to us successfully tackling and overcoming them.

To the entire team behind this wonderful institution, I wish you continued success and continued impact. We need it and we will all be better off for it.

With my warmest regards and very best wishes for the next 150 years!
