April is Arab Heritage Month. In February 2022, the Honourable David McGuinty introduced Bill C-232, an act respecting Arab heritage month. “The first immigrants of Arab origin arrived in Canada in 1882, in the early years after Confederation, some 140 years ago. The population of Arab Canadians has since grown to over one million and continues to flourish. Arab Canadians are proud of their racial and cultural roots and they are proud to be Canadian, which is why Arab heritage month is so important. It provides the opportunity and space for Arab Canadians to showcase their culture, their talents, and why they are proud to be both Arab and Canadian.

Transgender people have historically been marginalized and excluded from mainstream society, often facing discrimination, harassment, and violence. Transphobia and discrimination are still widespread, and many transgender individuals face significant barriers to accessing healthcare, employment, housing, and other necessities. International Transgender Day of Visibility occurs every year on March 31st. This day is dedicated to celebrating transgender people, their contributions to society and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide. The day was founded by US transgender activist Rachel Crandall of Michigan in 2009 as a reaction to the lack of recognition of transgender people, and citing the frustration that the only well-known transgender-centered day was the Transgender Day of Remembrance which mourned the murders of transgender people, but did not acknowledge and celebrate living members of the transgender community. Honouring the International Transgender Day of Visibility is critical in the fight for transgender rights and equality. By recognizing and supporting the transgender community, we can create a world that is more just, equitable, and accepting for all.

This coming Sunday many Christians will celebrate Easter. Easter is one of the central holidays, or Holy Days, of Christianity. For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful conclusion to the Lenten season of devoted prayer, fasting, and penitence. It is when Christians glorify and give thanks for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. After His crucifixion, death, and burial, Christ rose from the grave three days later. By this, Christians believe that He conquered death and redeemed us from sin. Happy Easter to everyone celebrating!
