Asian Heritage Month - Between 1880 and 1885, the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed using the labour of around 15,000 Chinese workers. They faced discrimination by being underpaid and facing the most dangerous tasks, which resulted in around 2,200 deaths. Chinese workers created the foundation of the Chinese population in Canada today!
