ALBERTA, CANADA, August 5, 2021 (Swarajya): “Alberta’s government is proud to announce that August will be recognized as Hindu Heritage Month in Alberta going forward. This is an important way to show our appreciation for the Hindu community and all that they do to strengthen this great province,” reads a Joint Statement issued by Alberta’s Minister of Culture Ron Orr and Associate Minister of Immigration Muhammad Yaseen.
“Through the COVID-19 pandemic, Hindu temples in Alberta stepped up to support their members and the wider community through neighbourhood food banks. This exemplifies the generosity of Alberta’s Hindu community,” the statement added. The statement added that the Hindu Heritage Month provides an opportunity to all Albertans to learn more about Hindu faith and culture as well as “celebrate Albertans of Hindu heritage and help build inclusive, welcoming communities for all”. In 2016, the government of Ontario, another province in Canada, had declared the month of November every year as Hindu Heritage Month.
