Latin American Heritage Month

October marks Latin American Heritage Month in Canada! This is a time to honour the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Latin American communities across the country. Officially recognized in 2018, this month celebrates the diverse backgrounds of people from over 20 nations who have helped shape Canada’s social, cultural, and economic landscape.

This year let’s take time to learn about Latin American traditions, support Latinx-owned businesses, and amplify Latin American voices in our communities. Whether through music, food, literature, or conversation, Latin American Heritage Month is a time for all of us here at Durham College to learn more about Latin American history and heritage. Together, let’s honour the past, embrace the present, and build a more inclusive future.
