Cultural Discovery of Canada
“Canada is an open and egalitarian society. Canadians are individualistic in terms of their pluralistic cultural traits, yet they place a great emphasis on citizenship, civic responsibility and community spirit, advocating that all people deserve the same rights and respect, regardless of gender, race, religion or cultural background.”'

Holi Festival of Color is one of the biggest festivals in Canada. People sing, dance and throw colors on each other to celebrate the arrival of spring. It also means that they bury their hatchets with warmth, embrace and throw their worries to the wind.

“It is interesting to note that Canadians value festivals much, particularly Halloween and Christmas. They spend much time decorating their houses!
No matter Halloween or Christmas festive season, Canadians like gathering with friends, families and relatives, showing love and care to family members and friends.”
