June 27th is Canadian Multiculturalism Day:
“On November 13, 2002, the Government of Canada designated June 27 of each year as Canadian Multiculturalism Day. This day is an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate and appreciate the contributions of the various multicultural groups and communities to Canadian society.” - Canadian Heritage
