Strengthen Canada's multicultural advantage by implementing a revitalized Multiculturalism Program and developing new initiatives to celebrate diversity and foster greater inclusion.

What success looks like

A re-developed and revitalized Multiculturalism Program is in place to help strengthen Canada’s multicultural advantage, celebrate diversity and foster greater inclusion.

Government's narrative on progress

Work is currently underway to scope the depth and breadth of changes and additions to be proposed as part of the Multiculturalism Program’s revitalization. Budget 2018 earmarked $23 million over two years to strengthen multiculturalism, with $2 million of that supporting a cross-country engagement. To successfully deliver on Budget 2018 priorities, existing program funding and new incremental funding will be delivered through the new Community Support, Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Initiatives Program. The Program will support events, projects and capacity building with a priority focus on Indigenous Peoples and racialized women and girls. The program has launched, and is currently accepting applications.
