1. People maintain their culture after immigrating to Canada in many ways. One way is by continuing to do their cultures traditions such as dressing a certain way, having some sort of ritual before you eat or when you get up in the morning. Another way they maintain their culture is by passing on the stories or traditions on to their children and their children’s children. One last way is by having special celebrations for the special sprays in their culture. Such as having a parade for Chinese New Year or Hanukkah or St Patrick’s day. I chose this image to show the celebration of Chinese New Year because that is something that lots of people in Canada celebrate and that they have huge celebrations for.

2. After immigration some cultures might be discouraged because their places of worship are often vandalized. Such as the Mosque vandilization in Montreal in 2017, a Hindu temple vandalized in Seattle in 2015, and a family church vandalized in Vancouver in 2012. I chose these articles about each of the types of vandalism that happened in each of these places of worship because they show how exactly culture can be discouraged and how some people aren’t accepting of other cultures.

3. Based on the information I found I think that Canada is mostly a multicultural because we have created so many different places of worship that people can go to depending on their religion and culture. I think that there are a few people that aren’t open to multiculturalism because it’s different from what they believe in so they try and stop it.
