Canadian Turning Points Poster Series
This 12 × 18 inch full-colour educational poster explores one of the most significant milestones in modern Canadian policy — the Canadian Multiculturalism Act of 1988. The Act formally recognized cultural diversity as a defining characteristic of Canadian society and affirmed the importance of protecting and promoting the cultural heritage of all communities.
The poster provides historical context explaining how immigration reforms, changing demographics, and evolving ideas about equality helped shape Canada’s multicultural identity. It highlights key milestones leading to the adoption of multiculturalism as national policy and its continuing role in Canadian public life.
Designed as a visual learning resource, the poster combines historical explanation, key timelines, and reflection prompts that encourage discussion about diversity, inclusion, and citizenship in Canada.
Printed in full colour on 12 × 18 inch poster stock, it is ideal for classroom displays, library exhibits, and educational programming that explores Canadian identity and civic values.
Ideal for:
• school libraries
• social studies and civics classrooms
• multicultural and heritage displays
• diversity, equity, and inclusion programming
• Canadian history and citizenship education
