Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau helped honour the life of Martin Luther King today by singing an original song.
Gregoire-Trudeau, the wife of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, sang the short song after giving a speech at an event at Ottawa City Hall to mark Martin Luther King Day.
She told the crowd the song is titled “Smile Back at Me,” and she wrote it for her daughter Ella-Grace.
Gregoire-Trudeau received a standing ovation for her performance.
Also at the event was former prime minister Joe Clark, who received an award for his work to end apartheid in South Africa and for his efforts on Aboriginal justice issues here in Canada.
