Filipino Heritage Month is in June

Statement from Mayor Jeff Leal regarding Filipino Heritage Month:  

“June is a time to celebrate the invaluable contributions the Filipino community has made to our city and country. In Peterborough, we are proud to acknowledge the many ways Filipino Canadians have enriched our community through their dedication to family, hard work and community service. 

"As we celebrate Filipino Heritage Month, I encourage all residents to learn more about the history and culture of the Philippines, participate in local events, and support Filipino-owned businesses. Let us take this opportunity to recognize and honour the contributions of our Filipino neighbours, whose presence has made Peterborough a vibrant and celebrated community."
