March is Bangladeshi Heritage Month
In 2016, the Government of Ontario proclaimed March as Bangladeshi Heritage Month.
By designating March as Bangladeshi Heritage Month, the York Region District School Board honors the identities, diverse experiences and achievements of Bangladeshi students, families and staff in our school board.
Ontario is home to over 50,000 people of Bengali heritage who have made significant contributions to the province’s scientific, cultural, athletic, and political development. Every year on March 26th, Bangladeshis worldwide celebrate Independence Day, commemorating their nation’s independence in 1971 with music, parades, and various gatherings.
