According to the Canadian Cultural Mosaic Foun- dation, multiculturalism exists when people accept and encourage many cultures to thrive in a society. Multiculturalism can lead to many great outcomes, including racial and ethnic harmony, which simply means that people from different backgrounds get along well together. Living with and accepting different cultures helps us understand each other and discourage hatred and violence. Canada officially be- came a multicultural society in 1971 when the government began to recognize the value and dignity of Ca- nadians of all races and ethnic groups, all languages and all religions.
