Caribbean Heritage Month - ON, Canada

<p><br></p> <p>September went by so fast with everyone settling into some kind of normal. In the Month of October, we celebrate Caribbean Heritage Month</p> <p>Canada is home to a large and vibrant Caribbean-Canadian community in excess of 800,000, with more than half of them residing in Ontario.</p> <p>October is a significant month for the Caribbean-Canadian community. Improvements to the <em>Immigration Act</em> (Canada) in October 1967 and the introduction of the Multiculturalism Policy in October 1971 opened new doors, allowing Caribbean people to see Canada as a place to establish roots, raise their children and become a part of Canada’s mosaic.</p> <h1>Source: Bill 134, Caribbean Heritage Month Act, 2019</h1> <p>For morn information and activities visit ourchm.ca or follow on facebook at Caribbean &nbsp;Heritage Month - Canada</p> <p>Story retold in this episode:</p> <p><strong>Anansi and the Banana Bird</strong></p> <p>Anansi insult the bird, he’s at it again…</p> <p>Source: http://talesandtravelmemories.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Caribbean.pdf</p> <p>Join us next week as we upload new stories for your enjoyment.</p> <p>Be safe and well and most of all Walk Good.</p> <p>Follow us on our socials:</p> <p>Facebook: Talkin' Tales</p> <p>Instagram: @talkin_tales</p> <p>YouTube: Talkin' Tales</p> <p>www.talkintales.ca</p> <p><strong>#storytelling #caribbean #culture #WestAfrican #fables #folktales #African #storytellingmatters #caribbeanheritagemonth #talkintales #stories #storiesforkids #family #qualitytime #MQT #storiesforadults #storiesforfamilies #stories #trickster #tales #fun #ananse #anansi #talkintales #fun #laugh #culture #heritage #celebration</strong></p>
