On November 13, 2002, the Government of Canada, by Royal Proclamation, designated June 27 of each year as Canadian Multiculturalism Day.
Canadian Multiculturalism Day is an opportunity to celebrate our diversity and our commitment to democracy, equality and mutual respect and to appreciate the contributions of the various multicultural groups and communities to Canadian society.
Eleven Days of Celebration
Celebrate Canada! is an eleven-day celebration which takes place from June 21 to July 1.
We are justly proud of the nation we have built together over the last 141 years. Since the earliest days of our nation's history, Canada has been a land of promise. We have built a society that celebrates achievement and excellence while, at the same time, maintaining a strong respect for human rights. Our participation in Celebrate Canada! activities brings us together, strengthens our communities and helps us to understand the significance of the citizenship we all share.
