Lithuanian Canadians are individuals of Lithuanian descent who reside in Canada. This community began to form in the early 20th century, particularly after World War II, when many Lithuanians fled their homeland due to political unrest and sought refuge in Canada. Today, they contribute to the multicultural fabric of the country, maintaining their unique cultural traditions. The Lithuanian Canadian community is active in preserving their heritage through various organizations, such as the Lithuanian Canadian Community and cultural events. They celebrate traditional festivals, promote the Lithuanian language, and support connections with Lithuania, fostering a sense of identity among members.
