Albania was liberated from Nazi Germany forces after the Albanian resistance on

November 29th, 1944.

building Ontario's communities and the social, economic, political and cultural

achievements of Albanian-Canadians throughout the province. Albanian Heritage

Month is an opportunity to remember, celebrate and educate future generations

about Ontario's rich history.
