June is Portuguese Heritage Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the contribution to the social, economic, political, and cultural life of Canadians of Portuguese descent.

Canada is proud to be home to almost half a million Canadians of Portuguese descent, one of the largest Portuguese diasporas in the world.

Canadians of Portuguese descent have contributed to the growth and development of our country for many decades.

This Portuguese Heritage Month let’s highlight the Portuguese community’s culture, traditions, and languages while celebrating their role in building a prosperous, inclusive, and diverse Canada.
