Through hard work, consistency and perseverance, Portuguese Canadian communities have made significant contributions to our country, ranging from medicine and education to culinary arts and sports.
Portuguese explorers were among the first Europeans to set foot in what is now known as Canada.
Today, there are nearly 500,000 Canadians of Portuguese descent, who represent one of the largest Portuguese diasporas in the world.
