Michael Spavor, one of two Canadians that were detained in China shortly after Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, says that he’s happy to be back home and reunited with his family.
“I’m overjoyed to be finally reunited with my family,” said Spavor in his first public statement since arriving back in Canada.
“It’s humbling as I begin to understand the continued support that we’ve received from Canadians and those around the world, thank you. I’m appreciating being outside and the simple things around me.”

The two Canadians touched down on home soil last Saturday following their release from China.
