The Canadian government recognizes a number of “heritage months”. April is Sikh Heritage Month. May is Canadian Jewish Heritage Month. October is Canadian Islamic Heritage Month. November is Hindu Heritage Month.

There’s no month for Buddhists, even though Canada has more Buddhists than Jews according to census figures. (There’s also no month for Christians, but Good Friday and Christmas are official holidays in Canada.)

Does anyone know how we go about getting a heritage month for Buddhists?
