Multicultural Country Official policies exist to protect cultural diversity – Multiculturalism Act, 1988 – Immigration – Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – 2 official languages, but reality is quite different

Canadian Multiculturalism Act, 1988 Objectives: – Recognize and promote that multiculturalism is a fundamental characteristic of Canadian heritage and identity – Foster recognition and appreciation of diverse cultures of Canadian society – Preserve and enhance the use of languages other than French and English, while strengthening the status and use of Canada’s official languages

Immigration 3 types of immigration classes – family class (closely related persons of Canadian residents) – independent immigrants (admitted on the basis of a point system that account for age, health and labour-market skills required for cost effectively inducting the immigrants into Canada's white-collar or blue-collar labour market) – refugees seeking protection

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms -guarantees certain political rights and civil rights of everyone from the policies and actions of all levels of government -designed to unify Canadians around a set of principles that embody those rights -signed into law by Queen Elizabeth II of Canada on April 17, 1982

Canada’s Aboriginal Groups First Nations – indigenous people of North America, living in Canada, who are not Metis or Inuit Metis – First Nations or Inuit married European settlers Inuit – indigenous people living in the northern regions near the Arctic

Canada is a land made up of people from many different cultural backgrounds so it is difficult to define Canadian culture.

Cultural Mosaic Canada is viewed as a Cultural Mosaic – people of different cultural backgrounds living together while maintaining their own distinct cultural characteristics.
