Happy Portugal Day!

On June 10th thousands of people across the Greater Toronto Area will come together to celebrate. We will proudly honour our heritage through parades, music, dance, food, and traditions that connect us to our families, communities, and Portuguese-speaking heritages.

It is a time to celebrate our history, recognize the contributions of Portuguese-speaking communities, and share the richness of our many diverse cultures with others.

As we celebrate our heritage, June also invites us to reflect on how we build communities where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued.

In Canada, June is also recognized as Pride Month and National Indigenous History Month. These observances provide an opportunity to learn about, celebrate, and support communities whose voices and experiences have not always been fully recognized or included.

All of us at Abrigo wish you a fabulous day and week. Please enjoy all the festivities and stay safe!
