Join the Movement to Recognize
“Christian Heritage Month” in Canada
As proud citizens of this diverse and culturally rich nation, we believe it is crucial to recognize and celebrate the contributions of various religious and cultural groups. We invite you to join us in the movement to have “Christian Heritage Month” officially recognized in Canada.
Christianity is the most followed religion in our country, with more than half of the Canadian population identifying as members of the Christian faith. It has profoundly shaped Canada’s social, cultural, and ethical fabric, with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms mentioning God in the first sentence. While other religions have dedicated heritage months, there is no recognized Christian Heritage Month in Canada. We believe this should change.
Please join us in reaching out to officials of your city, your province, your Member of Parliament, and The Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Canadian Heritage, to ask for the formal recognition of December as Christian Heritage Month. By designating December as Christian Heritage Month, we affirm the importance of religious freedom and promote an inclusive understanding of our collective heritage. This designation would provide an opportunity for Canadians of all backgrounds to appreciate and celebrate the positive impact of Christianity on our shared history.
We seek your support in signing this petition and urging your family and friends to do the same. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your dedication to building a harmonious and inclusive Canadian society.
