Canadian Cricket Association extends Season's Greetings to all

The Board and Executive of the Canadian Cricket Association extends warmest greetings to all players, officials, volunteers, supporters and fans of cricket in Canada during this Holiday Season. May you and your loved ones have a wonderful peaceful productive, healthy and prosperous New Year and in the future.

Together we aspire, together we achieve.

Our best wishes and prayers for you include the following excerpt:

"As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story."

"Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with 'God,' whatever you conceive Him (or Her) to be.

...Keep peace in your soul"

Today and always.

Warmest greetings to fans, players, staff, officials and promoters of International Cricket.

To our friends and colleagues at the ICC, the Full Member (Test) countries, the Associates and Affiliates, we hope that the New Year will see a wonderful Cricket World Cup, resolution of any problems and the achievement (at least in part) of your aspirations.

To the Cricket Council of the Americas and to the West Indies Cricket Board we extend special greetings especially to those who are enjoying warm and beautiful weather.

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.... " "Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune." "Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans."

Dr. Geoff Edwards, on behalf of the CCA.
