May is Asian Heritage Month in Canada.
Asian Heritage Month in Canada is a time to reflect on and recognize the many achievements and contributions that Canadians of Asian heritage have made and continue to make Canada the culturally diverse, compassionate, and prosperous nation it is today.
“Asian Heritage Month has been celebrated since the 1990s. In December 2001, the Senate of Canada adopted a motion proposed by Senator Vivienne Poy to officially designate May as Asian Heritage Month in Canada.
