Celebrating Canada’s diverse cultures: Minister Yaseen

“Albertans are joining Canadians across the country in celebrating Canadian Multiculturalism Day.

“Alberta has a long and proud history of welcoming newcomers from many different cultures. We believe our province is stronger because of the many different cultural groups that add to the social, economic and cultural fabric of our communities.

“As we continue to welcome people from around the world, it is critical that we continue to promote the benefit and value of a multicultural society.

“We remain committed to doing this work through the Premier’s Council on Multiculturalism and the Alberta Anti-Racism Advisory Council. In addition, Alberta’s government offers various grants that are aimed at celebrating and uplifting the many cultures that call this province home.

“Today provides all of us the opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes Canada strong. I encourage you to take some time to learn about another culture and what it has contributed to our communities across the country.”
