“May is South Asian Heritage Month, and I look forward to welcoming our community to celebrate with us at Vaughan City Hall on Monday, May 26. It will be an evening full of incredible cultural performances and delicious traditional foods. Every May, we proudly recognize the many meaningful contributions of our South Asian residents and neighbours. Canadians of South Asian descent have played an important role in building cities like ours all across Canada. They have shaped our nation’s proud past and continue to positively influence its promising future, and this event is our way of thanking them for their generosity and support. I hope you will join us for a fun night of festivities!”
