Malala Yousafzai to receive Canadian citizenship, address Parliament
OTTAWA — Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai will receive her honorary Canadian citizenship in Ottawa next week.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office says the presentation will take place April 12, when the 19-year-old Pakistani woman will also address Parliament.
Former prime minister Stephen Harper was to have presented the award in Toronto on Oct. 22, 2014.
But the event was cancelled, because that was the day a gunman attacked Parliament Hill after killing a soldier at the National War Memorial.
