## What It Means

Establishing Ukrainian Heritage Month is a meaningful recognition of the cultural contributions and enduring legacy of Ukrainian Canadians. For both the Ukrainian and Canadian communities, this month celebrates the values, traditions, and history that have enriched the social and cultural fabric of Canada.

Ukrainian Heritage Month serves as an opportunity for Canadians to honour the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Ukrainian immigrants and their descendants, reinforcing the shared values that bind our communities. By dedicating September to Ukrainian heritage, Ontario fosters understanding and solidarity, strengthening the connections between Ukrainian and Canadian identities.
