Nowadays, when concepts of integrity, complexity, and globalization play a huge role in shaping our society, a concept of multiculturalism is common and widely accepted by most countries in the world, including Canada. According to Statistics Canada, as of January 2014, an estimate of Canadian population exceeded 35 million people and 20.6% of the total population are immigrants from other countries (Statistics Canada, 2014). These figures mean that on average every fifth person living in Canada was born in another country. This is especially relevant for Province of British Columbia, where, according to BC Stats, the population estimate equals to 4.6 million people as of July 2013 and BC was named one of the three Canadian provinces that accept most immigrants from all over the world (BC Stats, 2014). Unfortunately, the most recent demographics research on British Columbia population available was made in 2006. However, those numbers can still help to evaluate proportions of different ethnicities living in BC right now. As of Canada 2006 Cencus, minority population equaled to 24.8% and 10% of those immigrants were Chinese. Chinese people represent the biggest immigration minority in British Columbia, followed by South Asian (6.4%) and Filipino (2.2%) (Chui, 2006).

Interestingly, the book was published by the PEI 1973 Centennial Commission to commemorate the 100th university of their entrance into Confederation.

The Territorial North consists on the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon, all which rank the lowest in population and population density, however, Nunavut ranks the highest in the percent of population growth in Canada. Part of the reason is that the majority of the population in these territories are of Aboriginal descent. The growth rate might seem high in percentage, but the actual numbers are similar to Nova Scotia, has the lowest positive population growth among the provinces. The population density is highest near the Hudson’s Bay, in the city of Iqaluit.

Multiculturalism is a significant fabric of Canadian society that defines its unique identity among the rest of the world. Enactment of the Canadian multicultural policy (1971) affirmed government position and recognition of multiculturalism as a vital element of Canada.
