Honouring Arab Heritage Month with the Arab Community Centre of Toronto
April is Arab Heritage Month in Canada—a time to celebrate the rich history, vibrant cultures, and invaluable contributions of Arab Canadians. Following the passage of the Arab Heritage Month Act in 2021 (Bill C-232), this month honours the diversity, resilience, and achievements of Arab communities across the country.
At the Arab Community Centre of Toronto (ACCT), we’re proud to mark this special occasion with a series of meaningful programs that highlight the beauty, resilience, and creativity of Arab heritage.
Throughout April, we invite you to join us for a variety of community events, including:
