Today, communities of East and Southeast Asian heritage in Canada and around the world celebrate Lunar New Year and welcome the Year of the Horse.

Lunar New Year is a moment of renewal — a time for families and friends to come together, share in celebration, and look forward with optimism. It invites us to reflect on the experiences that have brought us joy and the people who enrich our lives.

It is also an opportunity to honour the vital contributions Asian‑Canadian communities make to our country — as entrepreneurs, creators, innovators, and leaders. The Year of the Horse represents energy, determination, and forward momentum — qualities that mirror the spirit and impact of Asian‑Canadian communities in shaping a stronger, shared future.

Wishing everyone celebrating a joyful and prosperous Lunar New Year!
