Hindu Heritage Month is an opportunity to remember, celebrate and educate future generations about Hindu-Canadians and the important role that they have and continue to play in communities across Canada. Throughout November, we invite you to learn more about the fascinating heritage of Hindu-Canadians. Happy Hindu Heritage Month!
