German Heritage Month
October is German Heritage month, a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions people of German heritage have made in Canada.
With more than 3 million people, the German community is one of Canada’s biggest cultural communities. In the arts, sciences, sports and business, German Canadians are active members of society, and Canada has adopted a wide range of German traditions and influences, including Oktoberfest. This famous festival celebrates German culture and heritage, with traditional Bavarian outfits, delicious beers and dishes, as well as dance and German songs.
