Statement from Sport, Culture and Heritage Minister Cathy Cox on Canadian Multiculturalism Day
On behalf of all Manitobans, I wish everyone a happy Multiculturalism Day!
For generations, people from all over the world have chosen to make Manitoba their home. They have chosen our province to build a better, safer, more prosperous life.
They have found an inclusive, caring society that opens its arms to people from all regions of the world, regardless of their age, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
They have found a compassionate society that encourages volunteerism and generously supports charities.
They have found a rich, vibrant mosaic of customs and traditions, with more than 250 ethno-cultural groups, representing over 150 different countries and languages.
Our province is strong, and growing even stronger, because of our diversity. We are working together, and we are building an even brighter future for our province – and for generations of Manitobans to come.
