Multiculturalism in Canada is a policy that recognizes and celebrates the diverse cultural backgrounds of its citizens. It encourages the coexistence of various cultures, allowing individuals to maintain their unique identities while contributing to Canadian society. This approach promotes inclusivity and respect for different traditions, languages, and beliefs. The Canadian government officially adopted multiculturalism in 1971, making it a fundamental aspect of national identity. This policy supports various cultural communities, including Indigenous peoples, immigrants, and refugees, fostering a sense of belonging and unity among all Canadians.
