加拿大亚裔传统月快乐！

今年亚裔传统月的主题是 “传承过去，拥抱未来”： 弘扬加拿大亚裔传统。总计约 20% 的加拿大人的祖先可以追溯到 50 多个亚洲国家。

200 多年来，亚裔加拿大人帮助加拿大成为我们今天所熟悉和热爱的国家。在艺术、体育、科学、商业、政治和社会公平正义等领域，加拿大社会中随处可见亚裔加拿大人的贡献。

遗憾的是，亚裔社区在加拿大仍然面临挑战，包括系统性障碍、种族主义和歧视。

为解决这一问题，自2018-19年度以来，我们的政府已投资超过2.6亿加元，用于两项打击系统性种族主义和歧视的加拿大战略，以及加拿大首个《打击仇恨行动计划》。

随着我们工作的继续，《2024年联邦预算案》建议从2024-25年开始，在六年内为《打击仇恨行动计划》提供2.736亿加元，并持续提供2930万加元，以支持社区外联和执法改革，应对仇恨犯罪的增加，加强社区安全，打击激进化，并增加对受害者的支持。

在整个五月，我希望鼓励所有加拿大人一起来庆祝亚裔传统月，更多地了解亚洲文化的多样性。

亚裔传统月快乐。

Statement by Minister Khera on Asian Heritage Month

From: Canadian Heritage

Statement

OTTAWA, May 1, 2024

Happy Asian Heritage Month Canada!

This year’s theme for Asian Heritage Month is Preserving the Past, Embracing the Future: Amplifying Asian Canadian Legacy. In total, about 20 percent of Canadians can trace their ancestry back to more than 50 different countries in Asia.

For more than 200 years, Asian Canadians have helped make Canada the country we know and love today. In the arts, sports, sciences, business, politics and social justice, the contributions of Asian Canadians can be found everywhere in Canadian society.

Unfortunately, Asian communities still face challenges in Canada, including systemic barriers, racism and discrimination.

To address this, our government has invested more than $260 million since 2018-19 in two Canadian strategies to combat systemic racism and discrimination as well as in Canada’s first Action Plan on Combatting Hate.

As we continue our work, Budget 2024 proposes to provide $273.6 million over six years, starting in 2024-25, with $29.3 million ongoing, for the Action Plan to support community outreach and law enforcement reform, tackle the rise in hate crimes, enhance

community security, counter radicalization, and increase support for victims.

Throughout May, I want to encourage all Canadians to come together in celebrating Asian Heritage Month by learning more about Asian cultures in all their diversity.

Happy Asian Heritage Month.
