Cultural events

Caribana Parade, Toronto, OntarioAnother advantage that Canadians enjoy is a large immigrant population (in fact, everyone in Canada, except aboriginal Canadians is an immigrant or descended from immigrants). Besides the mixture of British, American and French cultures, Canada has large Chinese, East Indian, Korean, Italian, African and Middle Eastern populations.

Canadians of all kinds gather to help celebrate and take part in events that highlight our multicultural society, which we call our cultural mosaic. Recently, the employees at EDge (who produce StudyinCanada.com) gathered to enjoy Chinese New Year, while in Vancouver in June there is a dragon boat festival. Montréal enjoys the International Caribbean Festival. Calgary enjoys Afrikadey (African Festival). Toronto, the largest city in Canada, has many different cultural events celebrating almost every culture from around the world, including A Taste of the Danforth - a celebration of Greek culture and food.

Aboriginal Canadian culture is celebrated across Canada as well from Vancouver's Native Arts and Craft Festival to the Nunavut Toonik Tyme to all of Canada's National Aboriginal Day.
