The Magic of Diversity - Cultural Diversity: A Canadian Perspective

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Canada's experience with diversity distinguishes it from most other countries. Its 32 million inhabitants reflect a cultural, ethnic and linguistic makeup found nowhere else on earth. Approximately 200,000 immigrants a year from all parts of the globe continue to choose Canada, drawn by its quality of life and its reputation as an open, peaceful and caring society that welcomes newcomers and values diversity.


In order to encourage the creation and sharing of Canadian stories, both at home and abroad, which reflect Canada's cultural mosaic, Canadian Heritage is pursuing a number of strategic objectives. Chief among these is recognition of the importance of cultural diversity. Our commitment and experiences are outlined in the following departmental publications:


  • Sharing Canadian Stories: Cultural Diversity at home and in the world



  • Canadian Diversity: Respecting our Differences



  • Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions



  • Canada's Commitment to Cultural Diversity



  • Canada @ UNESCO
