Environment and Climate Change Canada

Dear colleagues and friends,

In 1971, Canada became the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as an official policy, aiming to preserve the cultural freedom of all individuals and provide recognition of the cultural contributions of diverse ethnic groups to Canadian society.

Twenty years ago, in 2002, the month of May was officially declared as “Asian Heritage Month” by the Government of Canada, following the adoption of the motion proposed by Senator Vivienne Poy.

On April 30, 2019, in recognition of the important contributions that Sikh Canadians have made to Canada’s social, economic, political and cultural fabric, Parliament proclaimed April as the Sikh Heritage Month.  April was specifically chosen given its importance for Sikhs, who celebrate Vaisakhi

Ramadan Mubarak to Muslims in Canada and around the world! Muslims across the world are observing a month of fasting during daylight hours. They have a meal before dawn called “suhur” or “sehri” and break their fast after sunset with a meal called “iftaar.”
