For the last two centuries, immigrants have come to Canada from more than 40 different countries in East Asia, Southern Asia, Western and Southeast Asia, each with their own unique cultural roots that continue to enrich our country and make Canada a more vibrant place to call home.

This year marks the 21st anniversary of Asian Heritage Month in Canada with the theme “Stories of Determination.”

It is an opportunity to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of Asian Canadians, and to raise awareness of the issues and challenges faced by these communities.

Happy Asian Heritage Month!
