2025 Asian Heritage Month: Unity in Diversity

The Celebration of Asian Heritage Month: Unity in Diversity 

Canada designates May as Asian Heritage Month. Asians are the fastest-growing demographic in Canada, primarily due to immigration. Between 2016 and 2021, six of the ten leading countries of origin for immigrants to Canada were in Asia. Each May, Canadians are encouraged to learn, honour, and celebrate the diverse ways that Asian communities have shaped Canadian history and their continued contributions to society.

This year, we celebrate Asian Heritage Month under the theme “Unity in Diversity: The Impact of Asian Communities in Shaping Canadian Identity.” 

Here are some valuable resources to deepen your understanding and appreciation of Asian Canadian communities:

The promotion of Cultural Bridging is actively endorsed by the Anti-Racism/Discrimination Working Group (AR/D Working Group) of the RRLIP. The AR/D Working Group has coordinated various learning opportunities for its members and the broader community (e.g. the facilitation of community forums with themes that center on cultural bridging, acknowledging and learning about Indigenous history and culture and the racism experienced in Canada, training sessions that share anti-racism/discrimination response strategies, the research and development of resources that address racism/discrimination, etc.)
