Statement by Minister Chagger on Filipino Heritage Month

From: Canadian Heritage

This June we mark Filipino Heritage Month, which gives Canadians the opportunity to highlight the valuable contributions people of Filipino origin have made to the social, economic, political, and cultural fabric of Canada.

In the fight against COVID-19, the Filipino community is on the frontlines in Canada's healthcare sector, as nurses, personal support workers, and caregivers. As Minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth, I say thank you. This support is valuable during such an unprecedented time.
