Bill 10 2018

Act to proclaim the month of June as Filipino Heritage Month

Preamble

Ontario

is home to a large and vibrant Filipino community. Since the first Filipino

immigrants arrived in Canada in the 1930s, Filipino Canadians from across

Ontario have made and continue to make significant contributions across all

fields, including in science, education, medicine, broadcasting, law, politics,

business, sports and culture. Filipino Canadians have helped build Ontario

into the multicultural success story that it is. Today, the Philippines have

become one of the largest source countries for newcomers to Canada.

June

is a significant month for the Filipino community. Each year in June, Filipino

people around the world celebrate Philippine Independence Day in commemoration

of their nation gaining independence on June 12, 1898.

Proclaiming

a month to be Filipino Heritage Month in Ontario will provide an opportunity to

remember, celebrate and educate all Ontarians, including this generation and

future generations, about Filipino Canadians and their continuing role in

helping to foster growth, prosperity and innovation throughout Ontario.

Therefore,

Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of

the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Filipino

Heritage Month

The

month of June in each year is proclaimed as Filipino Heritage Month.
