Ontario Bill 81

43rd Parl. 1st Sess.
April 25, 2024
Croatian Heritage Day Act, 2023
  • This bill is about proclaiming May 30th as Croatian Heritage Day in Ontario. It recognizes the contributions of Canadians of Croatian heritage to various fields such as business, politics, medicine, science, sport, and culture. Croatian immigrants came to Ontario in the 1920s seeking a better life and established vibrant communities across the province. Ontario is now home to the largest Croatian population in Canada. The bill highlights notable individuals of Croatian descent who have achieved success in their respective fields, such as Robert Herjavec, a well-known investor, and George Chuvalo, a renowned boxer. By proclaiming Croatian Heritage Day, Ontario acknowledges the significant contributions and the important role that people of Croatian heritage have played in shaping the identity of the province.
