Minister of Arts, Culture and Status of Women Tanya Fir issued the following statement on Heritage Day:
“Alberta is home to many groups of people who have made our province strong and free, before, and since, Alberta joined confederation in 1905. In the past 119 years, Albertans of every background have driven innovation, spurred entrepreneurialism and built the community spirit that defines our province. Alberta’s diversity continues to be one of our province’s greatest assets, and on Heritage Day, Alberta’s government is celebrating this diversity.
“This Heritage Day, we celebrate how our province’s diversity has helped strengthen Alberta by engaging and inspiring Albertans with new perspectives. By embracing Alberta’s heritage and multiculturalism, our province is stronger and more vibrant.
“I am proud to be Albertan, and I invite everyone to celebrate and share their own history, cultures and stories with your neighbours this Heritage Day.”
