40th Anniversary: Diversity in Canada
The 40th anniversary is the 1967 Immigration Act. The revised legislation opened Canada to trans-Pacific migration from Asia. The points based system reformed the process of immigration, allowing new migrants to come and families to reunite. The new waves from Asia and other developing countries transformed Canada. The year 1967 also marked the a new sense of Canada as a multicultural nation willing to embrace a wide array of different peoples, beginning a rejuvenation of Asian Canadian communities.
