PEOPLE & CULTURE

PEOPLE


Ontario has the most culturally diverse population in Canada – more than one in four of our residents were born outside the country. Each year we welcome over 125,000 newcomers – more than half of all Canada’s immigrants.

This section of the website tells you more about our people and their backgrounds.  It looks at our languages, heritage and cultural communities. And it explains how we share our cultures through the arts, festivals and museums.
