SUMMARY:Asian Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:May 1 marks the beginning of Asian Heritage Month\, a time to celebrate the many contributions that people of Asian descent have made—and continue to make—to Canadian society. This month recognizes the breadth and depth of Asian identities\, whose roots originate in more than 40 countries worldwide.  \nUniversity of Toronto Chancellor Emerita Dr. Vivienne Poy\, the first Canadian Senator of Asian ancestry\, initiated the national recognition of Asian Heritage Month. Building on significant community efforts and a groundswell of support\, she successfully proposed the motion in the Senate of Canada in 2001. Dr. Poy reflected two decades later\, “My motivation was about education\, about learning from each other\, because once you learn\, you respect.”  \nLearn about upcoming events honouring Asian Heritage Month at the University of Toronto’s Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity Office

SUMMARY:Dutch Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:From the Ontario government: \nOntario is home to about 500\,000 Dutch Canadians. Since the early 1800s\, the Dutch Canadian community has made and continues to make significant contributions to the growth and prosperity of the Province of Ontario. \nBy proclaiming the month of May as Dutch Heritage Month\, the Province of Ontario recognizes the important contributions that Dutch Canadians have made to the economic\, political\, social and cultural fabric of Ontario’s society. \nMay is a historically significant month for the Dutch Canadian community. On May 5\, 1945\, the Canadian forces were instrumental in the liberation of the Netherlands from occupation during World War II. The Netherlands celebrates its independence and liberty\, along with the heroic efforts of the Canadian forces\, with a national holiday known as Liberation Day\, which takes place annually on May 5.

SUMMARY:South Asian Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:From the Ontario government: \nSouth Asian immigrants began arriving in Ontario at the start of the 20th century. Working primarily in the sawmill industry\, South Asian immigrants settled in various parts of the province. For South Asians\, the month of May has been a time of celebration and commemoration of their arrival from the Indian subcontinent to the Americas beginning on May 5\, 1838. \nWhile most South Asians came to our country from India\, many others came to Ontario from such places as Pakistan\, Sri Lanka\, Bangladesh\, Uganda\, Kenya\, South Africa\, Mauritius\, Singapore\, Malaysia\, Fiji\, the United Kingdom\, Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana. Today\, South Asians make up a significant proportion of Ontario’s population and are proud to draw upon their heritage and traditions\, contributing to many aspects of culture\, commerce and public service across this province. \nIt is appropriate to recognize and pay tribute to the contributions South Asians have made\, and continue to make\, to the development and general welfare of Ontario.
