Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has asked Canadians to celebrate new year while following the public health guidelines.

PM Trudeau on Twitter:

I know tomorrow’s a big day.

We’re ready for the year to end, and we’re used to celebrating that with a bunch of our friends and family members.

But just like we did last year, we’re going to have to switch things up - for our own safety, and for the safety of our loved ones.

However you choose to celebrate tomorrow night, please, make sure you’re following the public health guidelines in your area.

If we all do our part, we’ll be able to look forward to a better and brighter 2022.

And at the end of the day, there’s nothing more exciting than that.
