Home/Heritage Month
Every November
Hindu Heritage Month
A month to celebrate the culture, traditions and contributions of Canadians of Hindu heritage — and to share the values of dharma, ahimsa and yoga.
What is Hindu Heritage Month?
Recognized by Canada. Celebrated in London.
November is recognized as Hindu Heritage Month in Canada, established by a federal act in 2016 to celebrate the culture, traditions and contributions of Canadians of Hindu heritage. Communities honour the impact of Hindu Canadians across politics, business, medicine and the arts.
The month is also an opportunity for education about Hinduism's history, values, philosophy and cultural traditions.
