In Social Studies, we are learning about cultures. A culture consists of traditions, beliefs, foods, languages, religions, clothing and more.  In Canada, we have a multicultural environment, which was a result of immigration. This means that we have many different types of cultural heritage in Canada. Under multiculturalism all citizens are treated equally.

            Canada helps people in a culture be equal with other people in another culture through the charter of rights. There are also many cultural festivals or events like Winnipeg’s Folklorama, where people from a culture can celebrate and share their heritage with other people. These gatherings also help people understand and respect other cultural backgrounds.
