September went by so fast with everyone settling into some kind of normal. In the Month of October, we celebrate Caribbean Heritage Month

Canada is home to a large and vibrant Caribbean-Canadian community in excess of 800,000, with more than half of them residing in Ontario.

October is a significant month for the Caribbean-Canadian community. Improvements to the Immigration Act (Canada) in October 1967 and the introduction of the Multiculturalism Policy in October 1971 opened new doors, allowing Caribbean people to see Canada as a place to establish roots, raise their children and become a part of Canada’s mosaic.
