The Ontario Legislative Assembly in Canada has passed a historic law proclaiming May 30th as Croatian Heritage Day in the province of Ontario.
Bill 81 – Croatian Heritage Day Act – received Royal Assent and was proclaimed law on April 25, 2024.
Introduced to the Parliament by MPP Donna Skelly from the Flamborough-Glanbrook riding in Hamilton, at the initiative of the Consulate General of the Republic of Croatia in Mississauga and with a wide support of Croatian organizations across Ontario, this landmark legislation comes as a recognition of the invaluable contributions made by Croatians to the rich tapestry of Ontario’s cultural, social, and economic landscape.
