Arab Heritage Month

When Apr 1 - May 1, 2025

Enacted to the House of Commons of Canada as of February 7, 2022 under Bill C-232, Arab Heritage Month, occurring yearly in April, provides Arab Canadians with the space to showcase their rich culture while also recognizing their contributions, struggles, and lived experience throughout Canadian history.

In recognition of Arab Heritage Month, here are some highlights to honour this important month:  

  • The first persons of Arab origin arrived in Canada in 1882.
  • Ever since then, the Arab Canadian population has grown to over one million in population and continues to flourish, with young and dynamic Arab Canadian communities thriving throughout Canada.
  • Arab Canadians from all walks of life have made important contributions to Canada’s social, economic and political life, and to building Canadian society.
  • Arab Canadians have also made rich contributions to the cultural fabric of Canada through literature, music, food, and fashion. 

AMAPCEO’s own Arab Caucus works to foster equitable and barrier-free workplaces for Arab members represented by AMAPCEO. With a mission to amplify Arab voices, build community, and dismantle systemic discrimination and racism within our workplaces, AMAPCEO’s Arab Caucus collaborates with the union and fellow equity-seeking groups to empower Arab members and support their professional growth and development.  

Celebrate and promote equity and diversity within your union. Join the AMAPCEO Arab Caucus »

We would like to acknowledge Tkaronto, a Mohawk word meaning “the place in the water where the trees are standing.”

The AMAPCEO office is on the traditional unceded territory of Haudenosaunee speaking nations, including the Wendat, Seneca and Mohawk. These nations have been here since time immemorial and were in more recent times joined by the Mississaugas of the Credit.
