  Culture and diversity: welcoming the world  
 

As a country built by immigrants, Canada embraces both multiculturalism and bilingualism. The combination of European, Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin populations has created a vibrant and continuously-evolving cultural scene shaped by many original musical, literary and artistic achievements.

A rich cultural heritage

In addition to top-calibre museums, dance troops, theatre companies and festivals that reflect the unique personality of each province and each city, Canada has also been blessed with recognition on the international scene.

The city of Montréal alone has seen the birth of the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, the International Jazz Festival, and the amazing Cirque du Soleil. It also hosts North America's only F1 race! While Ontario can boast the Toronto International Film Festival, the National Ballet of Canada and the Stratford Festival of Canada.
