Kindness is never forgotten. 🤍
Canada gave TS2023 families a chance when we needed it most.
We carry that gratitude with us and we are ready to repay it through our work, our skills and our contributions.
Extend TS2023.
#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa#Ozlem
We came with gratitude. We stayed with determination.
We are educated, skilled, hardworking and ready to contribute.
We don’t want to take from Canada.
We want to give back.
#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa#Ozlem
Give us the chance, and we will give everything back.
Our education.
Our experience.
Our skills.
Our hard work.
We know how to value what Canada has done for us.
Extend TS2023.

Look at the children. Look at their parents. Look at this community. 🤍
They are not asking for a handout.
They are asking for the chance to work, contribute and build the future they came to Canada hoping for.

Behind every TS2023 name is a person with skills, experience and dreams.
We are nurses, teachers, engineers, entrepreneurs, workers, parents and professionals.
We are already contributing. Let us continue.
#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa#Ozlem
We are not numbers on a spreadsheet.
We are families.
Workers.
Professionals.
Parents.
Young people.
We have lives here and we are ready to contribute.

Rick Hansen turned an unimaginable challenge into a journey of possibility.
Today, Özlem has turned 490 km into a message of hope.
When people believe, impossible journeys become possible.

Terry Fox ran for hope.
Özlem walked for hope.
Different roads.
Different generations.
But the same refusal to give up.
Hope brought us to Ottawa.
#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa#Ozlem
490 km doesn’t measure distance. It measures determination.
Özlem walked every step knowing that behind her were families, children and futures.
Some journeys are worth every tired step.
#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa#Ozlem
If you want to understand TS2023, don’t look at a number. Look at the faces.
Look at the children.
Look at the parents.
Look at the people who showed up.
These are lives, not files.
#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa#Ozlem
A country is not built by people who ask, “What can I get?”
It is built by people who ask:
“What can I contribute?”
That is who we are.
#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa#Ozlem
Dear Canada,
We remember.
We remember the door you opened.
The safety you gave us.
The chance you gave our families.
We don’t want to take that kindness for granted.
We want to repay it.
#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa#Ozlem
This is more than a march.
It is children, parents and young people asking for a future.
It is educated and skilled people saying:
Give us the opportunity to contribute to Canada.

Özlem reached Ottawa, but our journey is not over. TS2023 workers are still waiting for certainty about the lives and careers they have built in Canada.🍁🇨🇦
