Dufferin-Caledon Multicultural Award

About the Award

​

June 27 is Canadian Multiculturalism Day. It’s a day marked to celebrate and reflect on both the contributions of numerous cultural communities and the values that we all share.

​

The idea is to highlight those in the community who have helped shape a more inclusive community, who have actively worked to create equal opportunities, and who have the common goal to achieve an inclusive, supportive, and diverse community where we all can thrive, and who understand that diversity is our strength.
