May 1st is the beginning of Asian Heritage Month (AHM) in Canada.
AHM 2022 also marks the 20th anniversary since the Government of Canada officially declared May as Asian Heritage Month in our country.
This year’s theme, “Continuing a Legacy of Greatness,” highlights the countless Canadians of Asian heritage, both past and present, who have contributed to the very fabric of our society.
This month serves as an important opportunity for all Canadians to learn more about the positive impact that Asian communities have made and will continue to make.
It is also a time for us to reflect on the realities that many members of their communities continue to face.
Also, May is Canadian Jewish Heritage Month, a time to celebrate Jewish culture, faith, and history in Canada.
Canada is home to an estimated 400,000 people of Jewish heritage, making it the fourth-largest Jewish community in the world.
Asian Heritage Month celebration on Facebook Live will be at 6:30 pm (ET), May 9, 2022.
