May is Asian Heritage Month

Asian Heritage Month is an opportunity for us to learn more about the diverse culture and history of Asian communities in Canada, as well as to acknowledge the many achievements and contributions of people of Asian origin who, throughout our history, have done so much to make Canada the country we know and love.

The theme for Asian Heritage Month 2025 is: “Unity in Diversity: The Impact of Asian Communities in Shaping Canadian Identity”. This theme acknowledges the abundance of diversity present among Asian Canadian communities, and how this richness has contributed to building a unifying Canadian identity. The diverse nature of Asian Canadian communities is considered as one of their strengths, just as it is in our Canadian identity.

National Accessibilty Week

National Accessibility Week in Canada, occurring annually from the last Sunday in May, celebrates the contributions of people with disabilities and promotes barrier-free communities. It highlights efforts to create an inclusive, accessible Canada, often featuring events like Red Shirt Day and virtual webinars.
